"I didn't think I played that well up there tonight, I think I was a bit tired. I just thought battle and if I get a chance, take it and I did," said Chisnall post match.

"When he went off 28, just capitalise on that and I found a 123 and then he went 40 and I went 140 and I thought I've got him here."

"For me though tonight, I was too tired, I was drained."

His mum sadly passed away last month and he discussed what a title would mean to him as a result.

"It'd definitely make my mum proud. This tournament I'm doing it for her. She's still looking down on me."
