‘It’s probably best I don’t say’: Mark Williams leaves ITV snooker pundits in stitches with post-match interview
MARK WILLIAMS booked his spot in the Champion of Champions semi-finals with a thrilling 6-5 win against Kyren Wilson on Tuesday.
And he left three ITV Sport pundits in stitches with his reaction.
Williams had a 5-3 lead in the match before Wilson took it to a deciding frame.
But he managed to see it out to end his seven-game losing streak against the world snooker champion.
Reflecting on the result, Williams said: “I thought he was going to come back, he made a good break at 5-4 and then, the 5-4 it was cursed.
“He got into the pack, they split lovely, and then he’s gone for a long red, butchered it, and somehow left two reds.
“I thought, well, I can’t say what I thought, but I just thought I’m not going to win. It’s just one of those things.
“But it was a good break on the last frame and I’ve got him on my mantelpiece now.”
Meanwhile, Wilson was left “annoyed” after crashing out of the tournament.
He explained: “I didn’t feel I played that well, I was hanging on.

“Mark was the better player – I made far too many unforced errors. I felt like crap all week.
“I’m so annoyed with the way I played the red over the pocket in the decider. All credit to Mark.”
Williams will now face the winner of Group Three which features Judd Trump, Ding Junhui, Ali Carter and Neil Robertson.
