In an electrifying showdown at the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, England, Mark Williams of Wales pulled off a stunning comeback to beat Judd Trump 17-14. Trailing 7-3 early on, the seasoned champion battled back with brilliant breaks of 73, 84, and 62, turning the match in his favor.
The nail-biting contest saw Trump fire back with his 106th century of the season, keeping the tension high. However, Williams's experience shone through when he responded with a century of his own and then sealed the deal with an impressive clearance of 123. With a mix of nerves and determination, he described his final moments: "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."
Now, the 50-year-old Williams, a three-time champion with titles in 2000, 2003, and 2018, has become the oldest ever World Championship finalist. He is set to face China's Zhao Xintong in a thrilling final decider at the Crucible Theatre on Sunday. Get ready for a final full of surprises and epic snooker action! 😮🏆
