Snooker LIVE: Players to quit tournaments as Ronnie O’Sullivan gets invite | Other | Sport

Mark Selby has labelled his own performance as “pathetic” as he lost 4-2 in the second round to Jack Lisowski on Wednesday.

“Pathetic, just not good enough. Apart from the last frame I could have won every single frame,” he told BBC Sport NI afterwards.

“I mean, I don’t feel great out there at the moment – I’m working hard on the practice table but just lacking a bit of confidence I suppose.

“Results-wise it’s been OK, but feeling-wise on the table the way I’ve been playing I’ve not really been feeling comfortable in what I’m doing. Sometimes you go through patches like that, you just have to ride the waves and come out the other side.

“You just keep going and hopefully it’ll turn around.”
