Kyren Wilson is on the brink of becoming the 23rd world champion at the Crucible as he leads Jak Jones by five frames, with a score of 15-10 heading into the final session. This could be Wilson’s first world title victory, as he seeks to keep his determined opponent at bay and secure his long-awaited triumph.
Jones, meanwhile, is aiming to make history by becoming the first qualifier to win the trophy since Shaun Murphy in 2005. Despite trailing behind overnight, Jones managed to narrow his deficit to just three frames on two occasions during the match. The best-of-35 encounter will conclude with a live broadcast on BBC Two at 19:00 BST, with a maximum of 10 more frames to be played.
In a tenacious display of skill and determination, Jones fought back from a seemingly pivotal loss to Wilson on Sunday to set the stage for a potential comeback. He showcased his talent with impressive breaks, including a break of 64 and a break of 59 to narrow the gap between the two players. The audience watched eagerly as Jones clawed his way back to within three frames at 13-10, only for Wilson to respond with a display of composure and skill to maintain his lead.
As Wilson aims to join the ranks of previous world champions like Mark Williams, Mark Selby, and Judd Trump, he remains focused on the prize and determined to secure his first world title. With the final session approaching, Wilson is within reach of fulfilling his greatest ambition and making a mark in the world of snooker.
