Yesterday was Round 2 in the British Open and unfortunately I went down to Nick Matthew 3-0. The day didn't start well when I woke in the morning and realised I could barely put any weight on my right leg. I didn't twist my and or leg or anything in the 1st round, but something must have jarred during the match. The Physio managed sort my hip out in time for my 2pm match but even with my ankle heavily strapped, I couldn't really lunge on it. Pretty disappointing to be honest as I was looking forward to playing on the glass court against a 'local' boy in the British Open. Shit happens I suppose!
Selby is playing really well this tournament and I think he will push Matthew today. Azlan is also on form and if he plays anything like he did in the World Games a month ago, he will beat Willstrop.
Petrosport Open in Egypt starts next week and I fly out on Wednesday. All the top players are playing and those who make the final in the British will need to back up quite well for their 1st round next week!
