He could still get deep runs in some tournaments and maybe win another one but I think after what he achieved that season he feels he has achieved his ultimate goal, to win a World Title with his sons watching.
I'm sure he'd like to one day win a World title with his grandsons watching. That should be his next 'ultimate goal'.

You have to say Williams has done very well in his career. Don't get me wrong. He's a very good Allrounder but his scoring power is certainly one or even two level below the two most powerful scorers, ROS and Hendry.
As well as below the likes of Higgins,Trump, Selby or Robertson. But he's always compensated it well. In his prime he usually made a lot of 40's and 50's and then killed the frame off with his single Ball potting and intelligent shot selection.

MJW said he won’t win a title again but he can still earn something like 100-200 thousands a year by just showing up so he won’t retire yet

A chinese would be nice.
As much as i'd want Brecel to do well on tour and become an 'established top player', I don't think it'll ever happen unless he is prepared to move over to somewhere in Brittain and practice with top players all the time.
don't think opposition in Belgium is challenging enough to take him to a possible next level.
Or at least move over during the bulk of the season, like I guess most chinese players do...

Shame - I was looking forward to seeing Sargeant vs the Captain in a Major tournament.

Won't be earning that for long unless he sharpens up.

Mate, I just had the busiest day of my working life.
Before somebody says it, I know it isn't that difficult.
Haven't checked any scores today.

Watching Monk whilst eating a Mars Bar doesn't qualify as work.

Makes his third WC win feel even more surreal.

Mcgill is playing Holt. Could be alright. You'd expect McGill to win.

Considering how many visa issues and withdrawals Hossein Vafaei has had to still be ranked 41 is quite something.

It seems very unfair.
I wonder if current tensions with Iran will make it more difficult

He's a very talented hard-working player.
Would like to see him win a ranking event.
