Nothing is ever decided on day one of the World Snooker Championship final. Far from it, in fact. But if it is Kyren Wilson, who leads 11-6, lifting snooker’s most prestigious prize on Monday evening instead of the courageous Welshman Jak Jones there is no doubting the three hours of chaos on Sunday afternoon will have been the difference.
Jones deserves immense credit for rallying in Sunday’s evening session to make this year’s final seem in the balance going into the second and final day. Trailing 7-0 at one stage earlier in proceedings, we were genuinely entering historic territory.
