For the 20 minutes the nearly 4 year old will sit still with me, she quickly picked up on how the game worked and was going to the tv showing me where they want the ball to go. #snooker #crucible #snookerworldchampionship

I love that the #CrucibleTheatre (whose next production is Dancing at Lughnasa from 13 Sept - 4 Oct) in Sheffield has hosted the #SnookerWorldChampionship since 1977.
At the 2025 Semi-Finals Barge78 snapped his excellent view as Mark Williams, on the left, up by 4 frames, waits to shoot. avf.ms/6x9

What a performance by Zhao Xintong over the last month. Never looked flustered. Cool as you like, and could string some serious breaks together when needed.
Worthy #SnookerWorldChampionship winner.
And what a player Mark Williams is. An inspiration to us 50+yo players with bad eyesight!
Well done

The third year in a row that we've had a new champion. A Belgian, a Brit and a Chinese. This is really great and it makes me very happy for the future of the sport. All young (in snooker terms) too! #snookerworldchampionship #Snooker

Thoroughly entertaining final session of #Snooker. Zhao Xintong is a deserved winner and it's great to finally see an Asian champion! Williams gave an entertaining four frames just leaving that tiniest of glimmers of hope alive! 18-12 is a far better scoreline than 18-8. #SnookerWorldChampionship
Congratulations Zhao Xintong. Absolutely brilliant win. What a great player! #Snooker #SnookerWorldChampionship
How many times in the #SnookerWorldChampionship this year has the crowd have to be reminded to put their phones on silent, or to make sure the flash isn't going off on their cameras? Does nobody think to check anymore? Basic etiquette surely. #Snooker
I bet the BBC2 scheduler is praying for a Mark Williams fightback in the evening's snooker
#SnookerWorldChampionship
Not sure what Zhao's tactics were there by carrying on with Williams ahead with less remaining on the table in the 12th frame, perhaps looking to tire Williams out? Or discombobulating him?
Either way it hasn't worked, the comeback is for the Welshman

I hope you’ve all remembered your secret Snooker words to Lady in Red. #snookerworldchampionship
Xintong 7-2 Williams. Maybe the fightback starts here, but its still the case that only Dennis Taylor has ever come back from 5 behind after 9 frames.
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
Niche stat alert. Xintong’s 104 in Frame 7 means that Frame 7 has seen 9 centuries in World Finals since the format began in 1980. Equal first. Lets see if Frames 14 and 16 can go one better and reach 10!!!!
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
Xintong 6-1. Only one player has ever come back from 5 behind after 7 frames….guess who?? Dennis Taylor in 1985.
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
Xintong 5-1. Only 3 champions have been this far down at this stage. Thorburn in 1980, Dennis Taylor was 6-0 in 1985, O’Sullivan in 2004. 78% of champions were leading after the sixth frame since 1980.
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
For the third year in a row, we have a 3-0 scoreline. On only 4 occasions has the champion come back from 3-0 down to win.
Dennis Taylor 1985, O’Sullivan 2004, Selby 2014, Bingham 2015.
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
Niche stat alert: The last 3 players to score a century in Frame 2 of the World Final have gone onto win the title. Ebdon 2002, O’Sullivan 2012 and 2022.
#snooker #bbcsnooker #snookerworldchampionship
STAT ALERT : Xintong 2-0. Amazingly, the winner has been behind after Frame 2 on only 7 occasions since 1980 (only 15% of finals). Williams already having to take on the past as well as Xintong.

This is going to be a great final!

Mark Williams v Zhao Xintong provides the largest age gap in World Final history. Williams at 50, up against Xintong at 28.
The 22 year gap passes the 19 year gap set 96 years ago in 1929 by Joe Davis (27) and Tom Dennis (46).
