"How many people here thought I was going to do that. I'm very happy with the result, I played tonight with no pressure because I was the underdog, Michael (Smith) was the clear favourite. I just thought I'll play my game tonight and I'll see what happens," said Lowe post match.

"I was getting jittery towards the end but I could feel he was getting frustrated and that made me play even better because I knew he was struggling."

"I could hear him getting frustrated and it's something I don't do, you don't ever see me do emotion. He was shouting a bit and I thought I've got you here."
