He said: “The final went exactly to plan, I was pretty consistent throughout and I am very happy.

“The last time we played earlier in the season Russell fought back from 2-0 down and that was on my mind in the third game.

“I made sure I didn’t relax and let him back in. I found my length early and managed to pin back a dangerous opponent.

“I didn’t give many cheap points to Russell which was a theme over the weekend for me.

“I have played twice a day at times recently which helps in terms of your overall fitness for events like this.

“That also helps you fight through tricky moments.”
