Aamir lost the opening frame 70-27 but hit back in the second 78-30 and knocked off the next three 56-55, 83-44, 78-28 for a 4-1 lead. Majid won the sixth frame 71-34 but Aamir claimed the seventh 67-57 to seal his win. “I want to be like England’s Ronnie ‘O’ Sullivan and represent Pakistan in the world championship,” said Aamir. “I’ve grown up watching players at my father’s club and want to become a professional cueist.”
