I believe I deserve it because I’ve worked hard and hopefully I’m coming into form at the right time.

Don’t talk to me about it, it’s a nightmare.

I’m a different style for Ronnie O’Sullivan, who’s a genius, but I’ve just beaten the world champion. People can say what they like but I don’t care.

He’s been an outstanding world champion and I really appreciate everything he’s done for snooker over the past year.
