Mark Williams has slammed “idiot” Stephen Hendry for his comments over the Welshman practising with protege Jackson Page ahead of their secound-round clash at the World Snooker Championship.
The 47-year-old, a three-time winner of the sport’s most coveted prize, will square off with the youngster in the last 16 on Thursday. The 20-year-old is just two years older than Williams' eldest son, Connor, and has a close relationship with his opponent.
The pair were seen practising together at the Crucible ahead of their encounter, something Hendry did not approve of - telling the youngster to “stay away” from his next opponent. This was brutally dismissed by Williams on Twitter, who wrote: “What an idiot."
