defeat felt game mind state
It had nothing to do with Graeme. It was just the way I played, the way I approached the game and the state of mind I was in. I have never felt as down after that defeat as I did then.
commission france frustrated reason
I think that is part of the reason why the commission has become frustrated with France and Germany's pleas that they shouldn't be aggressively tightening in this downturn.
might returned since worried
I was worried when I returned that I might be booed or barracked. Nobody has waved fivers at me. I am touched by the reception since I have come back.
ball evidence jail knew miss people single sure table until
People have been to jail when they're innocent. I knew I would never miss a single ball on a snooker table on purpose and, until then, I was sure the evidence would support me.
feeling great improvement personal
My personal feeling is it's a great improvement to that corner.
across high last standard
Look at the last 10 years. The standard is now so high across the board.
good lots mean programs state year
I think $100 at the end of the year doesn't mean a lot to me, but $100 from everyone in the state at the end of the year could mean lots of programs that could be good for Hawaii.
felt few reminded though
I just felt as though I wasn't going to miss. It just reminded me of how I used to play a few years ago.
coaching definitely helped learn lifetime miami opportunity possible tried
Being at Miami has definitely helped in my coaching skills. I had the opportunity of a lifetime and tried to learn as much as possible about the game.
decline five intensity lose next people players prove steady
Snooker players go into steady decline and lose their intensity after a while. But I will have real purpose the next five years. I want to prove people wrong and win a lot more tournaments.
furthest sports time
Snooker has just been a British-based sport for such a long time and when I started at 18 the furthest you'd go would be London.
great played
That's a great reward, I don't think I've ever played better,
fast game happy won
It was a fast game and I am happy that I won the game with 5-0.
enter hope opponent
If I could enter the final, I hope my opponent would be Ding.
