 Robbie Williams continued his fine start to the season on Tuesday with a superb 4-0 win over Pang Junxu at the British Open qualifiers and he is feeling the benefit of small changes he has made in recent months. The 36-year-old was the underdog with the bookmakers against Pang in Leicester on Tuesday but made a mockery of the odds as he knocked in breaks of 134, 77 and 51 to whitewash the young Chinese star. That was Williams' eighth game of the new campaign so far and he has lost just once, with no shame in a defeat to three-time world champion Mark Williams at the Championship League. He was delighted with another fine performance this week, and felt it coming, proving that he has built confidence over the last few weeks. 'I was made up with today because obviously Pang is a brilliant player, so it's a nice way to kick on with the season,' Williams told Metro.co.uk after the 4-0 win. 'I think I've only lost to him once, the first time I played him and I thought he was absolutely amazing. Since then I seem to have worked him out a little bit, so it's all good. 'For some reason I just fancied winning it. I was sat in bed last night thinking, you know what I'm going to win this. You just get feelings like that with certain players, I don't know why.'

There have been a couple of other changes he has made as well, getting fitter and making himself feel a bit more comfortable at the table. 'I cycle to practice every day now, it's a little thing, but that's been good,' Williams explained. 'Also, for eight or nine months I had a problem with my waistcoat, it's too tight and I've been uncomfortable during matches. It's only re){kind=link}
