Diogo Portela made his World Championship debut last night and in the process became the first ever Brazilian to do so and he made things hard for Peter Wright taking a set off the World Number Two before tailing off and losing 3-1 but in defeat Portela spoke and said it was a dream come true and it shows that he can mix it with the best.
He also set out his targets and admitted last night's defeat keeps him motivated to come back next year.
"It was a dream come true," said Portela. "I didn't play my best. I was nervous at first then I relaxed a little bit in the second set but I went off the boil in the last set, couldn't find the range.
"This experience for me though just proves that I can mix it with the best. If I can get a set off the number two in the world I can do a lot on the tour.
"So it just keeps me motivated to come back here next year and next target is the Premier League!"
