Both players were over-cautious in their endeavour to outsmart each other. With both not showing the confidence to go for their shots, there were not too many substantial breaks, and the frames took time to finish, which resulted in the match dragging on late into the evening. Advani, for all his good showing, produced just two breaks of 69 (3rd frame) and 55 (8th frame). In contrast, Chawla had breaks on 51 and 38 in the opening two frames, followed by efforts of 61 (6th frame) and 40 (8th frame).
