For Mehta, the upcoming competition represents more than just a professional engagement; it is an opportunity to mark a significant chapter in his life with a trophy. Expressing his desire to dedicate a win to his child, the cueist noted that the motivation to succeed on the international stage has never been higher as he looks to bring home a special gift for his family.
Renewed focus and professional ambitions
Reflecting on his recent form, Mehta acknowledged that he has navigated a challenging period marked by injuries that impacted his consistency. After experiencing a lull in his career where he struggled to maintain his previous standards, the veteran player feels he has successfully moved past those setbacks. He noted that he is currently very comfortable with his game and has refined his training regimen to focus on high-quality practice sessions rather than sheer volume.
This resurgence in form and confidence has prompted Mehta to reconsider his future on the professional circuit. While he previously harbored doubts about returning to the tour, his recent progress over the past year has reignited his ambition. He indicated that if he maintains his current trajectory, he is keen to make another attempt at the professional tour.
For the immediate future, however, his concentration remains entirely on the Ahmedabad event. With the belief that his technical game is back to the required level, Mehta is determined to capitalize on his current momentum and contend for the title at the Commonwealth championships.
