Kyren Wilson

Kyren Wilson captured his 12th ranking title by beating John Higgins 10-8 in the International Championship final held in China. Higgins, at 51, was aiming to become the oldest ranking event winner but Wilson secured the victory with a decisive 61 break in the final frame.

Kyren Wilson, a 34-year-old former world champion in snooker, had his house burgled while playing in a snooker event in Leicester. Thieves stole cash, three watches, jewellery, and £2,000 meant for a children’s cancer charity. Wilson pulled out of the Championship League Snooker event as a result.
