Health-wise, the last two months have been the worst of my life." in September. 


Dunn suffered an heart-breaking whitewash by Xiao Guodong 0-6 on the UK Championship qualifiers early this month before turning to play the PTC9 in Antwerp, Belgian and reached the last 16 of the tournament. The player who qualified for the Crucible in 2002 seems to find his way to recover.
