Speaking in March 2023, The Rocket said: “I’d like to finish my career off in Asia. This is where snooker is more popular – like in China, Thailand and Hong Kong.

“With Covid it was possible to come here. My sponsors like to see me in Asia.

“When things open up more, I may play more in Asia and skip a few events in the UK. I cannot do them all.

“It’s always good to play a local favourite, whether that is Ken Doherty in Ireland, John Higgins in Scotland, Mark Williams in Wales, James Wattana here in Thailand or Ding Junhui in China. Those are fantastic occasions.”
