Kyren Wilson compared himself to Rocky Balboa and said he wanted to “build a legacy” in snooker after claiming his first world title.
“I can be a multiple world champion now but that first one has to be the hardest to get off your back,” said Wilson, who had been beaten in the finals of both the 2018 Masters and 2020 World Championship. However, he has remodelled his game and his self-belief has never wavered despite difficult times in his formative years when he qualified for and dropped off the professional tour.
There was an understandable outpouring of joy on Monday evening as Wilson celebrated fulfilling his boyhood dream.
