Northern Ireland's Josh Rock, speaking to ITV4 after his 10-7 victory over Krzysztof Ratajski:

"When you play Krzysztof, you have to adapt pretty quickly. I knew what to expect from him, I've played him a couple of times and I know what to do.

"At the start I struggled, but the more I got into it, the more I got better.

"When I was 3-2 and 6-4 [down] at the break, I knew I was still in it and had a chance. I was happy that I took my chances when I did."
