"Maybe if I was not defending champion I would've pulled out, but it's too big to pull out when you are seeded and defending world champion. "It was a good year, but I look forward to not being a world champion again - I don't like all the attention," added Brecel. "I've been waiting for the season to end for a few weeks. It's just a game, why should you be happy if you win and sad if you lose?"
"At 8-5 down, it was the worst for me but Luca was struggling and he should've won at 9-6," said Gilbert. "Then I found my rhythm and it was a really hard game. Huge respect for Luca, he is brilliant for snooker.
