😆 Mark Williams doesn't seem too bothered about breaking the record.

Come on Mark, it would be a great achievement! 💪

Mark Williams playing a shot on a snooker table with overlaid text that says: "Being the oldest at something, it's not really a record is it? If I did manage to win it, probably Ronnie (O'Sullivan) or John Higgins would beat it in a few months time anyway. No, it's just nice to be in the final, and if I can win a tournament it'll be great"

Etwas befremdlich finde ich das gerade schon.
Die Leute aus dem Hintergrund zu würdigen ist generell eine gute und wichtige Sache. Aber irgendwie rückt das Match und der Gewinn von Mark Williams dadurch sehr in den Hintergrund.

And the winner is:

Mark Williams! 🏆🥳

Er gewinnt den Xi’an Grand Prix mit 10-3 gegen Shaun Murphy.
Und ist offensichtlich der älteste Spieler, der je ein Rankingevent gewonnen hat. Spielt natürlich für nichts eine Rolle.

Aktuell steht’s 9-3.
Angles meinte vorhin, dass es bei einem Stand von 8-1 für Shaun unmöglich wäre, noch gegen Mark zu gewinnen. Also bin ich recht entspannt. 😊
