How do you feel about your game?
"I'm playing the best pool of my life right now. I know I'm a veteran, but I'm still improving. I think my recent results show that, and I'm expecting myself to do even better than ever before. "
What have you been doing to change your game?
"That's a secret!"
Who's going to be your biggest challenges?
"Honestly, I have to say myself. The last two major championships, I made mistakes at the end but it could have easily went the other way. I don't feel that I got beat. That being said, of course the Asians are going to be tough since they've been dominating the World Championships the past few years. But I plan on changing that."
Other notable favorites for Europe will be Austria's Jasmin Ouschan who finished with a Bronze back in 2007 and Netherlands Tamara Rademakers.
