Ronnie O'Sullivan:
"You can only play as well as your opponent allows you to and it could have been a lot closer if he'd have taken a couple of his chances.
It's all about how it goes on the day but I always do well in this tournament - I've won it five times now.
Apart from the World Championship, it's our best tournament - wherever we go we play to packed houses of over 1000.
And with the UK Championship next week it's a boost to go into it having won a title and it's nice to have some match practice and a few wins."

Stephen Hendry:
"It was embarrassing really, I couldn't do anything - with Ronnie you don't get many chances and even though he didn't play that well that might be because I was so bad and it rubbed off on him.
I didn't play too well in my semi-final but it really didn't happen for me in the final and I'll have to forget about that now for the UK Championship."
