A 25th campaign in a World Championship for 'The Singapore Slinger' and he discussed his mindset throughout the tie.
"I didn't play bad from the very start but like I said, he was always on top of me even though I played well. But I keep telling myself things might change if I keep pressing, hopefully by putting a bit more pressure on him you never know so I always believe that it's never over till you hit the finishing line so never give up," said Lim post match.
Next up will be Dimitri van den Bergh and he discussed the lack of crowd and his friendship with the World Matchplay champion.
"I've always loved the crowd. The crowd always plays a part where it's going to help you or destroy you. I miss that, I really do."
"I know him very well, we have good vibes about each other. Dimitri has always been very polite. He's a friendly guy but then again I should say hats off to him, my aim is to try and put a stop to that."
