What a match! In an epic showdown at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, Wales' veteran Mark Williams pulled off a stunning comeback by edging out England's Judd Trump 17-14 in a nail-biting semifinal. Despite trailing 7-3 early on, Williams rallied impressively with solid breaks of 73, 84, and 62 to turn the tide.
The tension was real as the scoreline swung back and forth, and at one point, Trump even celebrated his 106th century of the season. But the 50-year-old ace kept his cool and delivered a magnificent clearance of 123 in the decisive frame. Williams later admitted, "I was starting to twitch towards the end, I'm not going to lie. I nearly missed the black in the last frame – I did feel a bit of tension on the back arm." His hard-fought performance has now made him the oldest finalist in World Championship history.
Next up, Williams will face China’s Zhao Xintong in what promises to be a thrilling final showdown at the Crucible Theatre this Sunday. Whether you're a seasoned snooker fan or new to the sport, this clash between experience and youthful flair is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat! 🎱✨
