Mark Williams hinted he may have to cancel pre-planned eye surgery after progressing into the semi-final of the World Snooker Championship. The Welshman edged a classic at the Crucible on Wednesday afternoon, progressing beyond John Higgins by virtue of a last-frame decider.
During Williams’ post-match debrief with BBC Sport, Ken Doherty, who was on punditry duty, joked the quarter-final victor wasn’t: “Playing bad for a blind man.” A reference to the glasses Williams was sporting in the interview.
Picking up on the cheeky dig, the 50-year-old replied: “I’ve got a big decision to make now, do I cancel my op? I don’t know.”
