Mark Williams Shifts Focus to Pool Amidst Snooker Success

Snooker legend Mark Williams has made a surprising revelation, announcing that he will be focusing more on pool in the near future. The three-time world champion, known for his incredible skill on the snooker table, has expressed his love for the game of pool and his desire to compete in more tournaments.

Despite still being a top player in the world of snooker, with a ranking of No8 and a recent British Open title under his belt, Williams has set his sights on Chinese 8-Ball pool. He recently competed in the Joy Cup World Heyball Masters Grand Finals in Qinhuangdao, where he faced tough competition but remained enthusiastic about the format.

In a statement, Williams admitted, “I probably enjoy playing Chinese 8 ball rather than snooker, to be honest. I just want to play more, I’d like to play more tournaments this year to see if I can get any better.” He also made it clear that he is not retiring from snooker but will be dedicating more time to pool in the coming months.

Williams’ decision to focus on pool comes as no surprise, as he had previously predicted that more snooker players would transition to the game. He highlighted the popularity and competitiveness of Chinese pool, emphasizing the massive following it has in China and the significant prize money available.

As Williams prepares to return to snooker for the Tour Championship this week, fans will be eager to see how his newfound passion for pool will impact his performance on the snooker table. With his talent and determination, Williams is sure to make waves in the world of pool as he continues to pursue his love for the game.
