Mark Selby has told Eurosport that speaking about having suicidal thoughts and getting help for his depression was his «biggest achievement» — more than anything else in his illustrious career.

Ad Selby revealed last year that he had been “suffering for a few years” with depression and “bottling everything up” – but felt at the time as though “half the battle is won” after having spoken out about what he was going through.
