Bunting speaks
Stephen Bunting said: "The way I have been playing, I was wondering if I was going to win another title again.
'My doubles have been atrocious over the last few months. It's something I need to work on.
'But when you win titles, against the calibre of players I am playing week-in, week-out, it means an awful lot.
"Hopefully I am involved with the World Series for a few more years.'
