Gary Anderson came from 4-1 down to see off Keegan Brown with a 6-4 win on the opening day at the
Players Championship Finals.
Anderson of course has been visibly in pain with a knee injury and gave an update ahead of a busy period including the World Championship.
"Worst case scenario I'm going home, it's kind of like that now. I thought I'd try to pinch a couple of legs and make it a look a bit more interesting," said Anderson post-match.
"I kind of wrote this year off a long time ago. I just want next year to start, start at the bottom again and then hopefully give it a good push get myself sorted out."
"I've got a few weeks ago, I'm plodding on. The way I look at it, we'll try and get it sorted but I don't want to try anything now especially before the World's. I will struggle through."
