Michael Smith doubled his 2021 title tally by once again defeating Ross Smith in a
Players Championship final to conclude
Super Series 7 in Barnsley.
Smith spoke afterwards about work he'd done away from the oche which has paid off and how he is just trying to return to some of his form of old.
"Ross missed so many chances, he let me in and I think my finals experience saw me through," said Smith.
"If I'm being honest, I haven't really played well today, I've been pinching games and I did the same in the final.
"But what I have done well is keep fighting. I've been working on the mental side of the game over the last six months, so it's good to see that paying off.
"I just keep myself composed and keep myself together under pressure. I'm just trying to find myself back into form."
