\u201cJust ruin their careers a bit that would be great. I\u2019ve done all right, I\u2019ve got a good CV. Sometimes that\u2019s just a nice motivation to play.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want to play well. The worst thing for me is going out there and embarrassing myself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t mind losing. I don\u2019t want to embarrass myself and miss balls. That\u2019s a fear or stage fright.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iranian Vafaei, who hit a 112 break in frame three, had several chances across the six frames that O\u2019Sullivan won to make it a tighter occasion.<\/p>\n
