- [on the final of the 2022 UK Championship] Mark (Mark Allen) was very strong when he came back at me. He's always been a good come-back player, so I didn't relax. I didn't make that many mistakes, he just potted long ones, made big breaks and centuries. At 6-6 I lost a bit of feeling, he played much better in the second half. I didn't make any breaks and suddenly he was in charge of the game. In the last frame I had a chance, maybe if it was 9-8 then anything could have happened. I'm disappointed, I had this great chance to win a title. But it's always the best player that wins the trophy. I'll stay confident, keep my head up and work hard. There's nothing I need to change. Things are going well. I can't get everything back in one week, I can only try and win more tournaments.
