Manama (Bahrain), Jul 22 (PTI) National champion Paras Gupta outplayed Mohamed Shehab of UAE 4-0 to storm into the pre-quarterfinals of the IBSF World 6-Red Snooker Championships here on Tuesday.
The 29-year-old didn't come up with the big breaks, but played a percentage game to outsmart his rival.
The eighth seed grabbed the chances that came his way to floor the formidable Shehab in straight frames.
In the last-16 stage, the Agra-based Gupta, who finished runner-up at the Asian 6-red event in Colombo last month, will take on China's Pan Yiming.
Earlier, Aditya Mehta outclassed double world champion Muhammad Asif of Pakistan 4-0 to top Group 'N'.
By virtue of being ranked No. 2 in the reseeding, Mehta got a bye directly into the pre-quarters.
In the U-21 category, India's Mayur Garg and Mayank Karthik maintained their winning streak by making the pre-quarterfinals.
Results (Indians unless mentioned): Round-of-32: Paras Gupta beat Mohamed Shehab (UAE) 4-0 (54 (36) -15, 39-33, 34 (33) -14, 44-26).
