Mark Williams, a snooker legend and three-time world champion, reached the final of the English Open with a "one in a thousand" comeback against Shaun Murphy in the semifinals. The 51-year-old delivered an incredible performance, winning five consecutive frames after being 5-1 down.
Williams' Stunning Comeback
In the match held on Saturday night in Brentwood, Williams stunned everyone with breaks of 82, 69, 65, and 69 in the final frame. He faced some difficulties in the first half of the match but made a comeback in the second half with several outstanding clearances, challenging Murphy, who had started strong.
This victory allows Williams to break his own record as the oldest champion of a ranking event, which he set last year in Guangzhou at the age of 50. By reaching the final, he has become the oldest player in history to reach the final of a ranking event.
Williams on the Verge of Record-Breaking
Williams said about this: "When I was 5-1 down, I thought I was out of it. But I told myself to keep going and make some good clearances. This is one of my best comebacks, and I'm happy to be in the final now."
In the final, Williams will face 47-year-old Ali Carter, who is also in good form. Carter is looking to break into the top 16 in the world and wants to win this competition. Williams will go all out to claim his 28th title.
The final of the English Open will take place in two sessions on Sunday at 1 PM and 7 PM, and fans can enjoy watching this exciting competition. Will Williams make history?
