Mark Williams hopes for win to honour ‘legends’ Ray Reardon and Terry Griffiths

Mark Williams hopes he can honour two legends of Welsh snooker by winning his fourth world title and insists his celebrations would be considerably quieter this time around.

This year’s World Snooker Championship is the first to be held since six-time champion Ray Reardon died in July 2024, with 1979 winner and fellow Welshman Terry Griffiths following seven months later.

“Obviously they are two legends of Welsh sport and I’m playing in the final,” Williams said ahead of the two-day showdown with China’s Zhao Xintong at the Crucible.
