“It was quite comfortable really and I feel quite bad for Dom, he just doesn’t quite feel like the player he was a couple of years ago and it was quite comfortable for me,” said Wilson.
“The first frame’s always big, you’re trying to settle in and work out the table, I missed an easy one early on and then he did the same on the black and I made 90 off it, so straightaway I’ve found my groove and he’s probably ruing that bad miss.
“It’s been a good season for me I just feel like I’m missing the trophy, so, it’d be nice to try and pinch one this week!

“We’ve not played each other for a long time though, probably since juniors.”
