Bingham: “I feared the worst”
Stuart Bingham admitted he feared Ronnie O’Sullivan would snatch a come-from-behind victory.
But Bingham seemed very relaxed during the 13-10 win, saying, “I was just enjoying the game.”
“I cried a little bit in the dressing room. I feared the worst.”
“I don’t know how I’ve been holding myself together.”
“Stuart would have been torn apart.”
Steve Davis believes Stuart Bingham could have been undone if Ronnie O’Sullivan had pulled off a stunning comeback to take the final spot.
Rocket carefully backed away, leaving the table empty.
And the legendary Davis told the BBC: “What an amazing frame.
“If Ronnie had won, Stuart would have been torn apart.
“But what a great game it was. But Stuart played better.”
Rocket claims he’s “happy” after being punched
Ronnie O’Sullivan insisted he was “really happy” despite suffering a shock loss to Stuart Bingham in the quarter-finals.
Lockett claimed that he is playing more fluently than ever before.
He said: “I’m really happy to be honest, sometimes things like this happen.
“I feel like I’m actually getting through the ball, but that’s more important to me at this stage.
“It’s been a worrying few years.”
“It wasn’t the win we wanted, but that’s snooker, that’s how things go. We wish Stuart the best of luck.”
Bingham says he cried after the win.
Stuart Bingham revealed he cried a little immediately after his impressive win.
Overwhelmed by his victory over Ronnie O’Sullivan, he said his win was huge.
How did Stu do it?
Stuart Bingham came back from an 8-6 deficit to defeat seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan 13-10.
And while Bingham was on top for most of the 23rd frame, Lockett appeared to change his hopes with a bright red pocket along the edge and in the bottom corner.
But then he lifted the yellow invitingly open and Bingham returned to do the rest.
