Stephen McDermott

He said he's like playing against a computer game, a PlayStation.

This is how good he is.

He's just like a computer.

He just can spot all these potting angles and take on all these shots that he doesn't seem to miss.

There were moments in the final where he looked a bit human, but...

yeah like you know i thought that final was just incredible it was like you know one guy took one friend and the other guy took another you know but he kind of just really had this kind of feeling that he was going to do it because he just has this i said absolute fearlessness and is just you know unafraid to take anything on so he's 22 you know that like the future's so bright from he's already the world championship champion and like we said like like serrano sullivan john higgins are 50 years old so like in 28 years if we were still playing that game you know like like will he overtake them you know it's hard to see how it won't happen

I think the sport, certainly, yeah, I mean, it's whether you can get the real estate to do that and kind of pay the rent and all the overheads that come with that is another thing, you know, like, you know, unfortunately, the game has been in decline here for a couple of decades, you know, that's why I say it's so important that it's growing in China because, like, you know, these halls are, like, you know, they're kind of empty a lot of the time and, like, the land is just being used for, you know, bigger developments like housing and stuff as well.

So, look, if the Jason Ferguson proposal gets taken up, you know, that would be absolutely great, but, you know, it's kind of hard to see it happening the way the sport's going now, you know, it's,

It's not as it's not kind of like it used to be.

I think I think like it's very much the time here in China seems to be the place it's going to be.
