I don't really think that's the case at all. In a knockout competition such as this anything can happen.

Most of the other Prizewinners had upset winners, and in any sport knockout competitions lead to massive upsets, Greece getting the European Cup Final anyone?

How many times have seen upsets in the FA Cup, with crappy clubs like Portsmouth and Cardiff reaching the finals.

Nothing is certain in such competitions and it's still an achievement to win.

He's nearly 38, coming off a loss and over a year out and the death of his brother, and he went straight into a one night 8 man competitions where anything could happen and he came through it unscathed, dropping all 3 opponents and finishing two.

He did well.
