The pit was too big, and luck wasn't on his side when he came back from form. When Selby was in his best state, he met Ding Junhui, so that Ding Junhui would not have a chance to achieve his goal, otherwise he would have been able to get the small crown.
After the game, Selby's speech made people even more reluctant. Serge mentioned after the game: "I will sit down with my wife and talk about my choices. In fact, for most of this season, I didn't enjoy snooker and couldn't play freely, which also gave me a headache. Snooker affected my spirit, and it was clearly not the situation and outcome I wanted. Because happiness is the most important thing in life, and if I decide to continue my career and continue my career, I have to work with people to solve this problem.
I didn't expect that the season had already said that I wanted to retire, and this time I brought up such a topic, which made people quite reluctant, and the full sense of parting came to my heart.
As for commenting on this game, Selby still seemed very generous and gave applause to the other party. He thinks: In this game, I played badly and made it too easy for the opponent. Even if I lose, I'm happy for O'Connor, and no one is more proud of him than I am.
