I don’t have to prove anything to anyone: Advani

NEW DELHI, Sept 13:
Pankaj Advani’s decision to turn professional was instinctive and the seven-time world champion’s transition from amateur to the competitive world of pro snooker had more to do with listening to his inner self rather than silencing his critics.
“I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. As a sportsperson, you always look to challenge yourself and this is the biggest challenge that I have undertaken. I just wanted to prove myself that I can play at the highest level. That’s why I took up the challenge.
“To be able to try out both billiards and snooker professionally at the highest level, it’s just a high for me and I am really excited because it’s so contrasting,” Advani said during an interview.
As opportunity knocked on his door, Advani said he did not want to live with the regret of not playing in the competitive world of snooker in Europe. (PTI)
