Fu Shocks Selby In Front Of Huge Home Crowd _ Hong Kong Masters 2022

Well, Marco, congratulations on an outstanding win here in front of your adoring home fans. Just how special is it for you to do that win over Mark here in Hong Kong? Yeah, yeah. Very, very special. I mean, this is like to a lot of people, this is an invitational event. But to me, this is more than that, because I think Hong Kong snooker fans deserve a chance, you know, to watch all the top players coming to Hong Kong play in such a top, top event. You know, because after Covid, I mean, we suffer a lot, right? So I think this is a well-deserved opportunity for them to watch a world-class snooker event. So I'm very happy for the fans and happy with the way I play. I mean, Mark is a top player, you know, so no matter where you beat him, you've got to give yourself a little bit of credit. So, yeah, I'm very happy with the win today. Yeah, it must add a lot to the occasion to do it against an all-time great, a four-time world champion like Mark. Yeah, yeah, it is. Yeah. Because sometimes I think over the last few years, I suffer a lot on my snooker side as well, you know, because after the eye surgery, you know, things weren't the same. And after Covid, I didn't play any snooker at all. So for me, these kind of wins means a lot to me. And it proves that I can still do it, you know, in front of that many people against one of the best players in the world. So it proves that I can still, I still have it somewhere in myself, you know. So, yeah, it's a very important win for me. Hopefully, it gives me a good platform to hopefully play even better for the rest of the season. Yeah, it's been a very difficult four or five years for you with the eye surgery and Covid added in, sort of being not able to play. Were there times when you wondered whether these sorts of occasions might never happen again for you? Yeah, yeah, I feared the worst, you know, at one point, you know, after the eye surgery, I thought probably the end of my career is approaching. And after Covid, definitely that's the end of my career. But yeah, I just can't believe that I'm back playing again. And playing to a decent standard, you know, I'm not saying I'm playing superb at the moment. I've had a tough season so far and today I play OK. It's a good start, I think, for me, you know, to be able to perform to a certain standard in order to beat Mark. You have to, you know, play, play, play to a decent standard, you know, which I did today.
