ISTORIA

Este prima ediţie a primului turneu de puncte găzduit de India, dar ţara a fost vizitată destul de frecvent şi de memorabil (atât în sensul bun cât şi în cel mai puţin bun al termenului, la acest din urmă subcapitol al snookerului de pe subcontinent înscriindu-se mai ales amintirile lăsate pe acolo de Alex Higgins, la începutul anilor '80). Mai toţi celebrii aşi ai tacului au susţinut seri demonstrative în marile oraşe indiene – mai cu seamă la Bombay (adică, pentru localnici, Mumbai), dar şi la New Delhi, Calcutta sau Madras.

În sezonul 1991-2, oraşul New Delhi s-a numărat printre centrele unde s-a disputat aşa-numita Serie mondială (World Series) de tip "challenge" : Stephen Hendry l-a învins, atunci, pe John Parrott, cu 9–5 şi a câştigat 20 000 de lire sterline.

Pentru un sfert din acest premiu, în sezonul următor, Steve Davis a câştigat unica ediţie a Mastersului Indian, turneu invitaţional care a fost organizat, fără mari ambiţii de permanentizare, tot la New Delhi şi a reunit opt jucători (patru englezi – în afară de Davis, Willie Thorne, Steve James & Peter Ebdon + doi indieni faimoşi mai ales ca biliardişti – Geet Sethi & Michael Ferreira + două jucătoare de renume – Stacey Hillyard & Karen Corr). În finală, Steve Davis l-a învins pe Steve James cu 9–6.
