Poland’s teenage snooker sensation Michal Szubarczyk admitted he needs to "stop getting angry" when he misses after reaching the third round of the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters.
The 14-year-old, who became the youngest player to turn professional, beat Bulcsu Revesz 4-3 in his second-round match in Jeddah on Saturday.
It was just the second win of his career as a professional, with the first coming on Friday as he progressed past Ryan Davies with a 4-2 victory in the opening round.
While the youngster was pleased to come through against Revesz as the "underdog", he believes he needs to work on controlling his emotions when making errors.
"I feel very proud of myself because many people would say I was the underdog today," said Szubarczyk.
"I played a very good match. I was a bit nervous in the last frame but not that much. The standard on the tour is very difficult.
"I need to improve my safety and I need to stop getting angry when I miss. I am improving."

Szubarczyk fell 1-0 behind against Revesz, but turned things around to lead 3-1, with breaks of 59 and 93 coming in the third and fourth frames, respectively.
The Hungarian took the next two frames to force a decider, but Szubarczyk held his nerve to progress into round three, where he will face 2015 world champion Stuart Bingham.

Szubarczyk joined the tour earlier this year after winning the U16 and U18 European Championship titles in March, before reaching the final of the open-age event, where he was beaten by Liam Highfield.
The teenager's sensational run in the latter was enough for him to be offered a two-year card on the World Snooker Tour.
