Mark Selby came up short against Luca Brecel in a classic World Championship final, but while he was disappointed with the 18-15 defeat, he knew there were important things in his life.
"Twelve months ago it was just nice to come back and just play and try to enjoy it,” he told BBC Sport. “From where I've been to where I am now, I've enjoyed the last two weeks.
"It didn't finish how I wanted it to, but with things going on off the table as well, not just with me but with Vikki as well you know, obviously I realise that health is more important. This is a game; a game that you want to win but if you don't it's not the end of the world."
