With O'Sullivan requiring only two frames to progress, this was always going to be too big a comeback for even Swail to achieve, and 'Rocket' Ronnie was never in danger of losing his six frame advantage. I am surprised it took me so long to reach my first world final. I'm not being big headed when I say that. I believe I could have won it. I've just got to get on with the task of trying to win the final.
Second place is no consolation.
It has got to be the worst thing in the world, whatever the sport, watching someone else picking up a trophy. Hopefully that will be enough to spur me on and that I will be good enough over the next couple of days. It doesn't matter who I play. Whoever it is, then so be it. I am just looking forward to a good match over the weekend.
