Germany’s Christian Richter defeated Thailand’s Lomnaw Issarangkun in the final to emerge as the IBSF World under-17 boys’ snooker champion at KSBA here on Tuesday.
Richter claimed his first international title. The teenager started well, making breaks of 44 and 67 to wrap up the first two frames.
Issarangkun managed to win the third frame but went on to offer Richter plenty of chances to visit the table. Richter, less error prone than his rival, prevailed 4-1.
A pleased Richter termed the triumph as the best of his young career. He had earlier reached the quarterfinals and last-16 stages in previous editions of this tournament.
In the women’s under-21 semifinal, India’s Natasha Chethan overcame Chan Wai Lam 62-57, 69-29, 56-50.
Natasha will face Thailand’s Narucha Phoemphul in the final.
