CHENGDU: Muhammad Asif of Pakistan easily advanced to the World Games snooker semifinals on Tuesday after defeating Zac Cosker of Britain 2-0 in their quarterfinal match.
After winning the first frame 79–15 with an incredible break of 51, Asif finished the match with a commanding 89–31 victory in the second frame.
He can fight for the bronze medal if he loses, but a victory in the semi-final will ensure a podium finish.
