Anupama cueing up for glory in Commonwealth championship

After a semifinal finish in the UK Women’s Snooker Championship earlier this month, Anupama Ramachandran is turning her attention to billiards.

The reigning IBSF World Snooker champion will lead India’s challenge in English billiards at the Commonwealth Cue Sports Championships, to be held in Ahmedabad from October 7 to 10.

“I’ve been playing a couple of snooker tournaments and did well in the event in the UK. I’ve been feeling more confident and feel that I’m in good touch,” Anupama told The Hindu in an virtual interaction.

“Obviously, I’m playing billiards, which is a little different. Although the games are similar, they require different skills and a different thought process. So, I’ll have to put in the hours on the billiards table.”

The 23-year-old has also been testing herself in Heyball over the last year and a half, competing at the Asian and World championships.
