At the age of 46 years and 153 days (Williams' birthday on March 21, 1975), Williams set the oldest record for an active player, ranking third in history behind the famous stars Ray Lilton (50 years and 14 days) and Doug Monjoy (46 years, 221 days, 46 years and 172 days). Looking back at recent years, in addition to Trump, Selby, Robertson and others in the Mesozoic Era, O'Sullivan, Higgins, williams and others occupy the snooker altar have become another camp. I have to sigh that the current world of snooker, the uncle gang that is about to reach the age of 50, is still a force to be reckoned with, and even has the momentum to continue to rule. The younger generation of players still need to redouble their efforts to achieve the goal of grabbing power.
