‘I lost the World Snooker Championship final – I’m even more disappointed now’ Jak Jones was the surprise finalist at the World Snooker Championship this year and the disappointment of losing that match has only grown since.
‘Looking back at the World Championship I’m more disappointed now than I was then, having lost the final the way I did,’ said Jones.
The showpiece was an unusual match as Wilson won the first seven frames before Jones battled back and made it very interesting late on, but ultimately fell short.
The Welshman arrived at the Crucible as a qualifier and produced a superb run, beating Zhang Anda and Si Jiahui before causing a huge upset against Judd Trump in the quarter-finals.
The 31-year-old says the remarkable experience of a run to the Crucible final was not quite what he expected, but has given him confidence that he can do the same again.
