Jack Lisowski came up short in his bid to reach the final of the Welsh Open, losing a deciding frame to Joe Perry. He will now head to Turkey with a degree of confidence and is looking to kick-start his season. He is part Ukrainian and showed his support for the country following the invasion by Russia.
‘No rest for the wicked’ - Lisowski looking forward to Turkish Masters
Jack Lisowski is hopeful his run to the semi-finals of the Welsh Open can be the spark that ignites his season.
Lisowski has had a poor campaign, but found some decent form in Newport this week.
He was one frame away from his first final in over a year, but Joe Perry took the decider to set up a meeting with Judd Trump.
Lisowski will have no time to dwell on the loss, as he heads to Antalya for next week’s Turkish Masters, and he will take the positives from his run to the last four in Wales.
“It did not happen, but I tried my best and had a bit of form towards the end,” Lisowski told Eurosport. “I would take a semi-final at the start of the week.
“I’ve now got Turkey, straight back on the horse and have another stab and see what happens.
“It has been a good week, one frame away from the final. I’m not too down and hope it can turn my season around.”
Lisowski is quarter Ukrainian and wore a flag of the country to show support in light of Russia’s invasion.
“This is sport and some things are much more important,”he said. “We know what is going on in the world and I am a quarter Ukrainian so I have a badge on to show support for the Ukrainian people.
“There is a lot more to the world than a game of snooker.”
