Snooker has just been a British-based sport for such a long time and when I started at 18 the furthest you'd go would be London.
I queued 24 hours to see Coldplay, at Koko in London, at the start of the X&Y tour.
As weird as it is it to see yourself on screen, it made everything we've been through seem very real. And, well, London is only weeks away now.
I think Londoners welcome a spectacular event.
I've enjoyed it, I have seen it once at the premiere in London and it was very nice to be invited there. But I do want to see it again now. I want to sit and watch it as a fan rather than being there at the premiere with all the lights and such.
They never were planning to be here. All my family are going to London because they wanted to go to the big one. There was never any showdown - there wouldn't be.
I met Sade! I performed 'Blue Lights' at one of Drake's shows in London, and I met her backstage. She told me her son is a big fan. That was a moment when I was like, 'Wow.'
I'm looking to get in the best shape possible for London and not worrying about rivals.
