Menzies has previously apologised for losing his temper at the World Championship, saying it had been a difficult time following the death of an uncle.<\/p>\n
But the incident left him considering his future in the sport.<\/p>\n
“It was great to win [today]. Honestly, I was so close to pulling out this weekend. I’m just not enjoying it at the moment.”<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old added that surgeons have told him he was fortunate not to have severed any nerves or tendons but that he should gradually recover following further treatment.<\/p>\n
“I couldn’t feel my fingers for six weeks. I had to go through surgery. I’ve still to go through hand treatment and trauma,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve made a massive mistake in my life. You can see the scar.<\/p>\n
“They said [the feeling] will come back, but I have to live with the reputation of being a table puncher. It’s not a proud moment of my life.<\/p>\n
“We all make mistakes. Unfortunately I made a big mistake and have to accept it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
