"It wasn't an easy game. Never is easy when you play on this stage at the World Championship. Every game is difficult, especially on the short distance it's only three sets. It was really hard but I'm really happy that it was a good finish for me," said Ratajski.

"He throw normal but his preparation is long and takes many times so I walk around on the stage, it was my idea for waiting for my throw."

"It is a very valuable win for me of course. Every win at the World Championship is something incredible so this is the same. I am happy I'm back after Christmas. It's very nice for me."

"It doesn't matter if it's Michael Smith or Kevin Doets, both are good players. I must think about this match."
