“I’m feeling quite privileged to go to the World Championships but I’ve earnt it as well so yeah I’m just looking forward to competing.

“I think it’s quite a big deal and obviously there’s a lot of points up for grabs, 700 points if you win the tournament so you could pretty much seal the deal in a few weeks if you go and do well. I think I can compete at this level and I don’t think that there’s anyone I can’t beat if I put my mind to it so if it happens on the day it happens.”
