I didn't do anything wrong to go 3-0 down, it's just that Shaun played so well, but you're better off losing three frames like that than missing the final black when you've had a chance to win.

I was 3-0 down without doing anything wrong, ... Shaun just potted some great long reds and made some big breaks. I still felt very good and I had a lot of belief in my ability to get back into the match.

Considering what has happened to Paul, I'm just glad the match is behind me. I was in a no-win situation and all I can do now is wish Paul good luck for the future. He is such a nice guy.

I'm really looking forward to playing Shaun, it should be a great match.

We didn't even think of letting it go. People spend thousands of dollars in fuel and bait to catch a fish like that.

It was a fantastic match - the first session was the best I've ever played over a five or six-frame period.

I was very disappointed to lose because I think I was by far the better player throughout the whole match.
