Earlier, Asif had won against Australia’s Vinnie Calabrese 5-0 in their last 32-match played yesterday in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Asif showed great confidence as he beat Calabrese 63-40, 115-14, 69-65, 67-55 and 67-15.
Team manager Munawwar Sheikh was pleased with the performances of cueists Asif and Asjad Iqbal, who bowed out of the event at the start of the knock-out stage after a 4-3 loss.
“Asif has been simply outstanding throughout the tournament, while Iqbal was unlucky to get knocked out,” Sheikh told The Express Tribune earlier.

Asif good job done so far. Your confidence, concentration and commitment to win is the essence of your success. Whether you win or loose in final, it will give you a lot of confidence for your future success. It is a one man show. Nobody has guided/trained/helped you. You raised from ashes and will become a bright star.
TA lion is a lion! Be it in the jungle or at a zoo! As long as you bring good name to your country, what level you play at becomes secondary! Good Job Asif!
