In the final of the World Championship, Kyren Wilson showed an impressive display of potting skills as he surged to a commanding 7-1 lead over Jak Jones. The English player began strongly with a century break in the first frame, a feat not seen in a Crucible final since 1993. Wilson continued his dominance with breaks of 52, 66, 62, 90, and another century, firmly establishing his control over the match.
On the other hand, Welsh qualifier Jak Jones struggled to find his rhythm against Wilson’s exceptional performance. Despite this, Jones managed to earn a moment of celebration by scoring a 65 break in the final frame of the session.
The match will resume in the evening, with Jones needing to make a strong start if he hopes to put pressure on Wilson. If Jones can channel his match-play skills and determination like Dennis Taylor did in the 1985 black-ball final when he came back from a 7-0 deficit in the first session against Steve Davis, he could potentially mount a similar comeback against Wilson. However, it will be challenging for him to keep up with Wilson’s impressive potting skills that have so far dominated the match.
