Mark Williams had fans in stitches and applauding his openness after he issued a blunt response to the praise of rival Neil Robertson.
Despite posting two centuries, including an historic 147, Williams suffered a 5-3 defeat in an epic English Open quarter-final match against Australian Robertson. The 47-year-old Welsh snooker star became the oldest player to make a competitive maximum in the fourth frame, but was up against an in-form Williams who potted three centuries himself.
After the match Williams hailed his rival as "the best player in the world" and then had a blunt reaction on social media to the amusement of his fans.
