Kyren Wilson is on the verge of achieving a lifelong dream as he stands just three frames away from becoming the world champion in the thrilling final of the World Snooker Championship. Despite a valiant effort from his opponent Jak Jones, Wilson has maintained his five-frame lead and ended the third session with a score of 15-10 in his favor.
The Warrior, as Wilson is famously known, had started off strong in the opening session on Sunday, taking a commanding 7-1 lead. Although Jones showed significant improvement in the second session, Wilson remained in control with a lead of 11-6. As the players entered the final day of the championship, Wilson was determined to keep his lead and make history.
However, Jones was not ready to give up without a fight and he came out strong in the third session on Monday afternoon, winning the first two frames with breaks of 64 and 59. This brought the score to a close 11-8, the closest it had been since the start of the match. But Wilson remained unfazed and continued to assert his dominance, making breaks of 50 and 83 before the mid-session interval, bringing the score to 13-8.
Jones, who was playing in his first World Championship final, showed great resilience and made a break of 90 to win the 23rd frame, followed by a break of 73 to bring the score to 13-10. But Wilson was determined to not let his opponent catch up and made a crucial break of 87 to keep him at bay. As the final frame of the session approached, both players were feeling the pressure but it was Wilson who managed to re-establish a five-frame lead, bringing the score to 15-10.
Despite some tense moments towards the end, Wilson managed to hold his nerve and secure the win. Even though both players were struggling in the final moments of the session, it was Wilson who emerged victorious and is now just three frames away from lifting the iconic trophy and the prize money of £500,000.
As the players take a break before the final session, six-time world champion Steve Davis commented on the match, saying, "Your head can be in a spin. One minute you're in total control and all of a sudden you're in a spin. Kyren was in just as much of a spin, both of them were gone. But somebody, in the end, has to get themselves out of it and Kyren has the luxury of being a few frames in front."
The final session is set to be an exciting race to 18 frames, with both players giving it their all to win the championship title. With the pressure now off, Wilson will be looking to maintain his lead and achieve his dream of becoming the world champion. However, Jones will not go down without a fight and is determined to make a comeback. Tune in at 7pm to witness the thrilling end to this epic final.
