‘Getting worse by the month’ – Snooker star shares astonishing health condition that leaves him guessing at shots
Mark Williams has shared a concerning condition about his eyesight following his triumph at the Players Championship. Williams fought his way into the second round of the Championship with a determined 6-2 victory over Ding Junhui. Williams fought hard to claim an in the end comfortable win over his Chinese opponentGetty Although Williams only registered a notable run of 64, Ding also struggled to find his form, allowing the Welshman to secure a solid 6-2 success. After his win at the Telford International Centre on Monday evening, Williams opened up about the troubling issues he’s facing with his eyesight, confessing that ‘everything is blurry’. This revelation is heartbreaking for ‘The Welsh Potting Machine,’ a player whose name has become synonymous with remarkable long potting skills and relentless competitive spirit. After lining up a meeting with world champion Kyren Wilson in the second round in Telford, Williams reflected on the possibility of undergoing eye surgery to help restore his performance at the table. “It is a good win for me because, if I am totally honest with you, my eyes have completely gone,” Williams told ITV. “For the last six months, they have deteriorated quite badly. “It was just long ones that were blurry, but now everything is blurry.” With only two more tournaments left in the season after the Players Championship, Williams mentioned he would weigh up his options after the World Championship, which begins on April 19. “It is a bit concerning, but I have got to get on with it at the minute,” Williams, who turns 50 later in March, said.
