Focus on Advani

While Advani, who captured his maiden and only professional title in 2009, has been seeded fifth, veteran Sethi is placed a rank above the 26-year-old in the week-long event that will witness eight Indians in participation. Dhruv Sitwala, who scalped some big names before falling to Mike Russell in the final last year, is seeded second while England’s David Causier is seeded third.

Rupesh Shah (6), Saurav Kothari (8), Balachandra Bhaskar, Ashok Shandilya, Alok Kumar, Manish Jain and Devendra Joshi are also in the fray.
