The three-time world champion in the royal snooker game, Mark Williams, was so impressed by the program at the prestigious UK Championship that he fell asleep in the middle of his match. The 46-year-old Welshman apologized for the curious event of a recent coronavirus infection.
“My head dropped, and when I woke up, I had no idea where I was,” Williams told reporters after a late Sunday defeat in York with Anthony Hamilton. “For the first time in my 30-year professional career, I fell asleep in a chair,” he added.
Williams slammed 3: 2 when Hamilton was at the table. “It was a little awkward, but I’m just exhausted,” said Williams, who went through covid-19 in October and missed two tournaments. “I need to play in the morning or afternoon. The later I play, the more tired I am,” he said after a surprise 5: 6 defeat.
