Mark Selby will be "fighting himself" as he bids to defend his World Snooker Championship title while struggling with his mental health.
The Jester from Leicester has been vocal in recent times about his battle with depression and the way it has impacted his career at the top of the sport. He has sought professional help to assist him in getting to grips with his mental health.
But ahead of the World Championship he has admitted that " snooker goals seem irrelevant right now". He told The Sportsman : "I have had no motivation and it is hard to explain it other than to people who have had [depression]. The temptation is to say 'Just snap out of it', but I just never know how I am going to feel.
