Mark Williams in action during day five of the Betfred World Snooker Championships 2021 at The Crucible, Sheffield
MARK WILLIAMS set up a sensational second round match-up with John Higgins at this year’s World Snooker Championship after defeating Sam Craigie 10-4 on Wednesday evening.
The first round match was finely poised going into the evening session with Williams leading the Crucible debutant 5-4.
It looked like it might need all 19 frames to decide the winner, but the Welshman sped into a 9-4 lead by the mid-session interval before finishing the job with a break of 94 — the highest of the match — in the 14th frame.
