Aditya repeated Pankaj's performance in Euro tour 4 tournament where he reached in pre-quarter final ... Aditya scored good fighting win and gave decent fight to current WR #2 Mark Selby in his loss in the fourth round ... In recent interview Aditya told that he set goal of improving his current ranking inside top 50 at the end of year and his desire to crack top 16 in his career ... I feel this is realistic goal.
