In the latest news on July 18, 2021, Beijing time, three-time world champion Mark Williams is convinced that he will continue to take a carefree attitude towards the game, and in the coming season, he will focus on enjoying the game rather than dwelling on the outcome of the game. As the Champions League kicks off, the all-new 2021/22 season will also officially begin. Mark Williams will officially enter the 30th season of his career after tonight's seven-point game against amateur Miah, and tonight's game will bring him the first victory of the new season, after all, his strength allows him to do it, and he is in a good state of mind now.
WILLIAMS: Winning or losing doesn't matter to me
The three-time world champion has been playing in a fast and fluid style in recent years, with his average hitting the fastest time being 15 seconds. In the last season, he won the WST Pro Series and reached the semi-finals of two other races, as well as the quarterfinals at the Crucible World Championships. Mark Williams intends to find more fun in his future career. So he said: "Last season I played as fast as I could and I loved every minute of the snooker. I lost a lot of games that I should have won, but I also played some really good games. For the first time in a while, I looked very dangerous because I almost missed out on the top sixteen in the world, perhaps because I was used to it. In fact, I do want to win, but it doesn't matter if I don't win. After all, winning or losing now is not so important to me. ”
Williams: I don't practice a lot right now
Although he very much wanted to win the game, Mark Williams was in a very buddhist mentality now because he didn't want the result of the game to affect him too much. He said: "I don't practice too much this season, maybe a few hours a day or every other day, I don't want to be limited by the game. Maybe this way of practicing may affect my state, but I have now accepted it and am used to it. I think it's enough to keep me in a semi-normal state. In fact, I enjoy this state, which is my goal, rather than getting stuck in a dilemma for the outcome. I could finish a grab 10 game with Paige at the club in less than two hours because we were all very fast. I enjoy life like this and I'm happy with where I am now. ”
WILLIAMS: I want to see how long I can hold out
For Mark Williams today, the most important thing he wants to do now is to see how long he can stay in the world's top sixteen in his current form, and see how long he can play on the tour. Mark Williams said: "My only goal now is to see how long I can stay on the tour, especially if I don't deliberately practice and win games anymore, which makes a lot of sense for my career. Because the future is always unpredictable, and I don't know how long I can play, I want to see where I will be when I am 50, where I will be in the world rankings, and whether I will still be in the top sixteen. Snooker was important to me, I had planned to retire after last year's World Championships, but the pandemic made me realize that I didn't like that boring retirement. But for me now, I don't really pursue the results of the game, so I think it's a good decision to challenge myself in the half-state. I don't know what's going to happen next, but I think I'm definitely going to find joy. "Mark Williams will face Miach in tonight's Champions League, looking to see him pass 3-0.
