Mark Williams' breathtaking assets, approval of public marriage and deterioration in healthcare

Mark Williams made it for the fifth time until the final of the Snooker Championship in the world and is now only a step of a fourth world championship title, bumper number day and a place in the history books.

The Welsh was in good shape at the tournament and turned past Wu Yize, Hossein Vafaei and John Higgins before booking his place in the final on Saturday evening by defeating the world number one Judd Trump. Williams will now fight for the world championship title with Zhao Xintong, with the final starting on Sunday afternoon.

Due to the defeat of Trump, the 50-year-old became the oldest man who reached the World Cup final. If he can defeat Zhao, he will also be the oldest winner of all time. The previous oldest finalist was Mitwernman and six -time winner Ray Reardon, who lost the 1982 final to Alex Higgins at the age of 49.

“I shouldn't really compete with the number one player in a first to 17 in a first to 17, but somehow I browse oldies for us,” said Williams after his victory against Trump to BBC. “I can't believe that I am in another final. I don't know how to do it to be honest.”

At his own discretion, the three -time world champion has opposed the chances throughout the tournament and not only rolls back for the years, but also fights against his own deterioration to make it to the final. Now that Williams is now only a win from another world championship title, they have to know the following about his health and life outside the table.

Detachment of the health struggle

While Williams made it to the other final, he did it when he played “half -blind” because he worsened.

In fact, when he came to the tournament, the Welsh was very rejected his chances of progress after he was persistent from questions of vision that he admitted to “monthly”.

At the player championship in March, he claimed that his eyes were “completely gone” and he could hardly have seen the balls on the table, even though he defeated Ding Junhui in the first round of the competition.

“It is a good victory for me, because if I'm honest with you, my eyes are completely gone,” he said after this victory. “It has worsened quite badly in the past six months.

“It was only a long time that was blurred, but now everything is blurred. It's a bit worrying, but I have to participate at the moment. I will see what happens after the worlds.”

“The large scoreboard at the end of the table, I can't even see it, I can't make it,” added Williams. “It's all a blurring and is getting worse every month, so it's a good victory for me when you consider that I'm half -blind. It's crazy. It has a stage when something is nearby. I have no idea if you go, so I just go for you.”

After this admission, William's contact lenses wore while he was fighting but had to fight at the tour championship, where Ding got revenge and beating him comprehensively to beat him out.

The Welsh is now booked in June for the replacement surgery of lenses and admits that playing with contacts is “very difficult and really uncomfortable”.

“I see about three or four [balls] At a time, “he told the BBC.” I tried to play with contacts, but it is very difficult and very uncomfortable in my eyes.

“I was booked on June 12th, I think to get an object.

Although it hopes that the operation will help extend his career, his impressive form in the crucible this year led him to cancel the process and instead get his deposit back.

In an interview after playing with the BBC, after having hit Trump, Williams said: “In the last few tournaments I really had to fight with my eyes and tried everything – contacts, Varfocals.

“I left it for Lee [Walker, Williams’ coach] To decide because he knows whether I am going to be fine and how I hit her, and he said he thought I would better do it without her.

“The replacement for the lens was booked for June 12th – deposit – but I have to think. I want to go back my deposit!”

The role of woman in the career in the Kariere desire

Williams' journey to the World Cup final comes seven years after his last appearance when he hit John Higgins to raise his third world championship title.

However, he might not have made it there if it hadn't been for the intervention of his wife Joanne, who helped talk about the snooker as when he thought about retirement.

After his victory in 2018, Williams admitted: “Last year I wasn't even here [after losing in qualifying]. Last year I saw that in a caravan where I had some beers. I just can't believe it.

“Last year I seriously thought about giving up, [Joanne] said I can't sleep in the house 24 hours a day. My game is now in a pretty good shape. “

The couple has been married since 2011 and has three sons – Conor, Kian and Joel – together.

After Joanne came from Hartlepool, she admitted that she was together for 25 years, that her relationship should “have not worked”, but her love for each other had helped them to defy the chances.

“An English girl, an Welsh boy who works on different sides of the world,” she wrote when she paid tribute to her husband on social media. “It shouldn't have worked, but we have proven them false.”

Huge fortune

As a three-time world champion, Williams has already introduced a huge amount of money over the course of his 33-year career.

According to Cuetracker, he has won amazing prize money of £ 8.3 million in the course of his career, whereby his net assets will be estimated to be around 7.1 million GBP in 2025.

With the qualification for the final, Williams guaranteed himself for a bumper number day of at least £ 200,000 – while he was able to go away from the melting pot with cool £ 500,000 when he strikes ZHAO.

It remains to be seen whether he will see a large part of this sum after being sought after his runner-up with the Saudi Arabian masters that his fee of £ 200,000 would go somewhere else.

With regard to his wife Joanne, he joked: “£ 100,000 go to her and £ 100,000 go to the helmsman.”
