The newly crowned world champion, Kyren Wilson, took a moment to reflect on his journey to victory in a post-match interview with BBC Two. He paid tribute to the sacrifices made by his family and loved ones, including his parents who remortgaged their home to support his snooker career.
Wilson also acknowledged the contributions of his brother, wife, and others who have been part of his journey to success. He joked about how embarrassing it would have been if he had lost the match and how proud he was of his son for wearing proper snooker attire like a waistcoat and bow tie.
During the interview, Wilson admitted that he had promised himself not to cry again on camera after an emotional moment at the Masters. However, the overwhelming emotions of winning the championship made it impossible for him to hold back tears. Hazel Irvine provided Wilson with a tissue to help him compose himself during this emotional moment.
For Wilson, this moment of victory was not just a personal achievement but a testament to the unwavering support and sacrifices of his loved ones, making the victory even more significant and meaningful.
