"It's really pleasing and I saved my best game for the final," said Searle.

"It's a frustrating game! For the last two days I've been playing really well and losing out, and today I started really badly but I got there eventually.

"I scraped through a couple of games but got myself together and played alright after that. I was up for that final - I've lost four in a row and there was no way I was losing that today.

"I didn't care what Nathan was going to hit, I was going to beat him. That was the way I felt and I think that's the way I need to feel more often.

"It is frustrating but I'm pretty laid back and sometimes I'm not up enough for the final - I'm just happy to be there - and I'm trying to change that.

"I want to stay in the top 16 and get even higher. I feel like if I play my game I can beat anyone."
