The star didn’t really feel impaired going into the event and was taken without warning at his opponent.
He stated: “‘It was undoubtedly a novel feeling as a result of that’s in all probability probably the most assured I’ve ever gone right into a World Championship.
“I actually, actually fancied profitable it. [Lei] performed some actually impressed snooker and simply hit the bottom operating within the night session.
“So yeah, no complaints actually.”
