Both Felix and Crazol were brilliant, with former winning first two frames and latter the next two. First four frames were simply fascinating and it was a sea-saw contest.

The first frame bore the stamp of authority as Felix clinched the first frame 101-83 in a hard-fought battle. A superb clearance to pot balls snuffed Crazol’s steam out. In next frame too, Felix prevailed 100-72. In the third, Crazol hit back with 68-101 triumph mesmerising Felix.
It was vital for Felix to impress his personality on the match to qualify for the last four round.
In yet another match, Raju Khandke won 67-break points, a feat to cherish. He beat his rival Ashok Punjabi 100-60, 102-14, 100-93.
