“There is a tournament in Macau at Christmas that I am targeting, and all the others will be like if I feel like playing, then I will. I will play it by ear. I am not contracted with Eurosport to play in the Home Nations events, just do the punditry.”
“They are not my favourite tournaments. The crowds are not good, not really well run, lots of players, lots of whatever so they will be last on my list really. I am at the stage where I don’t really need the money, events, victories. I will do my punditry work as that is contractual, but that doesn’t involve playing.
“I just want to play enough. I will make the effort to go to China 15-20 times a year if I can for some short trips. My elbow has been killing me again – it is a nightmare, and I have had injections. I am going to have to get more treatment on it, it can hurt to pick up a cup of tea or a frying pan.
“I am due to play in the English Open in Brentwood in October, but I will be flying back from Hong Kong Monday morning, landing at 7.00am and due to play 1.00pm that day in Essex. So I’ll give it a go.”
