“This is fantastic for me,” said the four-time Lakeside Champion.

“I’ve always wanted to play at the Winter Gardens, but when I lost my Tour Card I didn’t think I’d get the chance.

“Winning the Women’s World Matchplay would be right up there with my greatest achievements. I would love to have this trophy on my CV.

“It is another massive opportunity for me, and I would love to be the first winner. I know what I can do, and I just hope I can produce it on the big stage tomorrow.”
