'It's disgusting...'
Forgive the misleading title, Jack Lisowski is absolutely thrilled with the way the things are going, despite significant silverware missing from his trophy cabinet.
Honestly it’s disgusting how happy I am. I’m so happy. I feel really lucky and grateful. I realise a lot of people have way tougher lives than me. Snooker’s given me a great life.
I’d rather be happy than win loads of matches, but you do need a balance, it’s also important for me to win. I want to win, definitely, it gets me down that I’m not, but it’s still fun being on the journey, thinking, when is it going to happen?
Jack LisowskiCue nightmare
Matthew Selt is currently in action now but he hardly had the smoothest start to his campaign in Saudi.
The world No 33 revealed his cue "snapped in two" on the flight over - but the issue has been fixed thanks to a local carpenter.
It snapped in two. I had some cues sent from back home and one from Thailand but I found a local carpenter here who has filed some of the wood away and used some extremely strong adhesive to put it back together, so I’m going to use it.
I played with it for a few hours earlier. It looks terrible, but the balls are going in the direction they were going in before it broke. Hopefully that will keep happening and it won’t break during the game. He’s done a very good job in terms of keeping me going until I can get it to Thailand after here and get it completely rebuilt.
