Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko Aditya Mehta te kaiwhakataetae o te whare i te whakatuwheratanga o te Indian Open engari ko tana tumanako ki te whakahou i te mahi i patua e Ricky Walden i te Taite. Ko te 29-tau te pakeke i nui ake i nga tumanakohanga katoa i te Oketopa 2013, i te wa ko Peter Ebdon, Mark Williams me Stephen Maguire kei roto i ana patunga, i mua i te hinganga a Ding Junhui i te 5-0 ki te tangata o Inia i te whakataetae taitara. I te hokinga mai ki te maramataka ki te marama o Poutu-te-rangi i tenei wa, ko te 50th-ranking Mehta ka hiahia ki te whakakotahi i tetahi atu rere pai i tana whakataetae kaainga, engari ko te ahua o te ao o te ao e waru Walden i nui i roto i te huinga. I whakawāteatia e Ricky Walden a Aditya Mehta kia kore ai te Inia e angitu i tana whakataetae kāinga. Na ko te toa o te Whakataetae o te Ao a Walden i puta mai i te wikitoria 4-2 ki te eke ki te 16 whakamutunga, kei reira a Tian Pengfei o Haina e tatari ana ki a ia. Ko nga toa o mua o te ao a John Higgins raua ko Williams i eke, i wikitoria a Scotsman Higgins 4-2 ki a Jamie Cope me Welshman Williams me te pakaru o te anga whakamutunga o te 127 ki te aukati i te kingi Crucible kotahi-wa Ebdon 4-3. Ka whai ake a Williams ko te tau ono o te ao ko Judd Trump, i whakawehia e te amateur a Adam Duffy, a kaore i tino kaha i a ia e eke ana ki te 4-3. Kei te raru a Trump i tana whara i te pokohiwi, a, i whakaaro ano ia ki te wehe atu i te whakataetae. I kii a Trump i muri i tana whiu i a Duffy: 'He pai ake te pokohiwi i taku tukinga tuatahi, ahakoa kaore ano kia tino pai. 'Kāore au e tūmanako nui āpōpō, ka whawhai tonu ahau, pērā i taku i mahi ai i tēnei rā, ka kite i te mea ka tupu. Kāore au e pai ki te whakatangi i taku pai ki konei. Me whakamatau noa ahau kia manawanui no te mea e mohio ana ahau ka ngaro ahau i nga poi kaore au e ngaro noa. E hiahia ana a Williams ki te noho ki Mumbai - nā te mea e tino paingia ana e ia te kai o reira. I kii a Williams, e ai ki te paetukutuku o te Ao Snooker: 'Kua rua aku curries i te ra mai i taku taenga mai ki konei. Koira ngā kāri pai rawa atu kua kai ahau, he pai ake i ngā mea katoa i te kāinga. Ki te patai mai taku wahine ki ahau i te wiki e whai ake nei mehemea e hiahia ana ahau ki te haere ki te kai i te kai, ka tino kore ahau.' Ko Graeme Dott, te toa o te ao i te tau 2006, i wikitoria ki te wikitoria 4-0 ki a David...
I eke a Aditya Mehta ki te whiringa toa o te Indian Open tuatahi. Engari i whiua ia e Ricky Walden 4-2 kia eke ki te 16 whakamutunga i tēnei wā. Ko John Higgins, ko Mark Williams me Judd Trump hoki e haere ana ki mua.
