"I'm very happy with tonight - the doubles, the finishing, the high-scoring. It could have been a bit better but I'm happy to make it three consecutive finals [at the World Championship].
"I missed a few doubles but I'm happy with 50-odd percent or whatever it was. Hopefully we can do a bit more tomorrow.
"The fans want it [the nine-darter] for their £60,000 and I do want one! It's one of those things, when you hit the 180 or the 177, your next darts is always the hardest."
On reaching a third straight final: "It's another list I've joined and the other list I want to join is back-to-back titles."
