🎱 Snooker drama alert! 🌟 Welsh snooker legend Mark Williams is fuming, and here’s why! Just as he’s about to face Shaun Murphy in the final showdown of the Xi’an Grand Prix, Mark was shocked to find out he might have to fork out a staggering £12,000 to change his flight back home from China! 😱
Williams, who’s been in top form, breezed past his opponents to secure a spot in the final. But before he could clear his mind to take on reigning champion Murphy, he had to deal with this unexpected travel hiccup. You won’t believe his reaction! He blasted British Airways on social media, saying: “Nice airline. @British_Airways, 12k to change my flight from tomorrow to Wednesday, time to start flying with a different airline. Wtf do they get the prices from.” 🎤🔥
British Airways jumped in, asking Mark to share his booking details privately so they could verify the quote, but Mark was not amused, replying: “You put me through to a bot, cheers.”
Despite the drama, he’s brushing off the fuss about potentially becoming the oldest winner of a ranking event, saying, “Being the oldest? That’s not really a record, is it? If I did manage to win it, Ronnie O’Sullivan or John Higgins will probably beat it in a few months’ time anyway.”
The final is set for Monday – will Mark clinch the title? Regardless, he’s excited just to be competing: “It’s nice to be in the final and if I can win a tournament, it’d be great. It’s great that I’m still somehow doing it.”
Stay tuned, folks! This showdown promises snooker greatness and maybe more dramatic twists! 🏆✨ #SnookerShowdown #MarkWilliams #SnookerDrama #BritishOpen
