"I've seen progress in the big Dutchman's game, probably over the last 10 months to a year. He has had to slightly modify his stance; he's standing slightly more upright and I think it's done him the world of good," said Mardle on Sky Sports.

"It will add longevity, he won't be in pain, it will add accuracy - over-leaning doesn't work for anyone.

"I like what he's doing, I really do. He played some good stuff at the back end of last year and looked really good in the Worlds, beating Ron Meulenkamp and Nathan Aspinall to reach the last 16 at the Alexandra Palace.
