After beating O’Sullivan, he told World Snooker’s website: “I was 6-1 down yesterday (Monday) and the one thing I wanted to do was not give up.
“It ended 6-3 and I thought if I played my best today then I could win. At 8-5 down it was the same thoughts again. I didn’t want this match to be 10-5 to him.
“My goal before this tournament was to win this match. I’ve reached my goal and I would like to enjoy the next game.

“I’ve already played a match and James hasn’t, so I think I can beat him.”
The winner of the match between Cahill and Revesz meets China’s Zhou Yuelong in the penultimate round of qualifying on Sunday.
That was the stage at which Zhou defeated Cahill last year before losing to Elliot Slessor in his attempt to reach the Crucible.
