Page’s quest for Welsh Open glory was ended by former world champion Luca Brecel in 2025.<\/p>\n
The Welshman was beaten 5-2 by the Belgian in the quarter-finals, ending his best run in the competition to date.<\/p>\n
And the pair now meet in the first round of the 2026 Welsh Open, with Page eyeing revenge against the 30-year-old.<\/p>\n
“I’m looking forward to it,” said Page.<\/p>\n
“Luca beat me in the quarter-finals last year, so I owe him one in the way.”<\/p>\n
Page came to prominence in the Welsh Open as a 15-year-old in 2017, beating Jason Weston and John Astley before losing to Judd Trump in the third round.<\/p>\n
And while Page says he is yet to reach the heights he had dreamed of as a teenager, he still believes he can turn things around.<\/p>\n
“I’ve done alright but I’m nowhere near where I want to be, I want to be the best and I still think I can do it,” said Page.<\/p>\n
“I’ve had a pretty bad season, it’s not been very good, so I need to kick on.<\/p>\n
“Obviously last year was a great year, so I’m trying to turn it around to get confidence in myself and perform like I know I can.<\/p>\n
“I’m sure I’ll get there.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
