GRANDPRIX RD1 JAMES WADE17A
James Wade was made to work hard for his place in the Last 16 coming through a tough battle with Aussie ace, Damon Heta at the World Grand Prix.
Wade spoke afterwards but wasn't positive about his display citing nerves and luck as key factors in his game during a three set battle.
"I was lucky but so happy to get through the first one. The first one's awful you know, I felt sick. I felt nervous. I felt worried.
"It's so nervewracking, you're always full of positive answers and that's why I always give you negative interviews. I don't do very well here and I guess defence is the best answer for offense."
"I was lucky he didn't score well. I think the longer you're in it the more mistakes you make. I try as hard as I can and I will do the best I can and most of the time it's not good enough but sometimes when it is - it's a great journey. I enjoyed that journey because I won it."
