I was 6-3 down and breaking very well. I took one rack away which I should have ran out and the other times I was breaking well but the white was getting kicked and wasn’t leaving me a shot. […]

Commented Gray, “It’s great to be playing in the Masters again, especially after last year when I was invited but woke up on morning of event with sickness bug. Somehow I beat Mika Immonen before losing to eventual winner Shane Van Boening in the quarter-final. “This year was very different with Matchroom picking three Brits but unable to decide on the fourth so they thought it would be best if me and Daryl Peach had a play-off match. Thankfully for me I won 21-11 playing quite solid but Daryl had an […]
