Second seed Pravin Dabli rallied brilliantly to score a close win over Sakaal's Nikhil Gotmare in a thrilling contest on the second day of the second carrom tournament for the media employees organised by Sports Journalists’ Association of Nagpur (SJAN) at Nagpur Union of Working Journalists Hall, Panchsheel Square on Tuesday.
After Sakaal’s Gotmare had won the low scoring first set 5-3, Dabli bounced back to pocket the next set 10-0. In the see-saw third and final set, both the players kept their cool but Dabli prevailed 8-6.
The Hitavada’s seasoned campaigner Ramesh Marulkar and greenhorn Amol Deokar won their singles and doubles matches to move up in the .
While both entered the pre-quarter-final rounds in the singles category they made it to the quarters in the doubles event.
Marulkar defeated Lokmat’s Yadu Joshi and then teamed up with Kartik Lokhande to beat Tarun Bharat combine of Roshan Tamboli and Yudhistir Raich. The second seeded pair won 16-0, 23-0.
Deokar blanked Danni Waikar 17-0, 23-0 in the singles and registered his second win of the day when he combined with Anupam Soni to tame Deshonnati pair of Amit Ramteke and Rajesh Praikar 23-0, 11-1.
Except for The Hitavada’s fifth seed Anil Futane and Sakaal’s seventh seed Naresh Shelke all the seeded players had a smooth sailing.
Futane was shocked by Lokmat’s Subhash Sharma 0-23, 0-22 and Shelke was stunned by Jeevak Gajbhiye 0-18, 0-23. However, Sharma will in all probability miss his pre-quarter tie as he has to go outstation to attend a close relative’s marriage.
Defending champion and top seed Paritosh Pramanik of the Hitavada moved into the pre-quarters as Mukesh Hedao didn’t turn up for their second round clash.
In another match which went till the distance Dainik Bhaskar’s Sujan Masid had the better of a fighting Ankeet Ghutke of The Hitavada 6-12, 9-8, 11-0. Ghutke’s blunder in the last board of the second set cost him the match.
