Snooker sensation Kyren Wilson has revealed the challenges he has faced off the table, with his wife battling health issues. Despite currently ranking second globally and securing victories at prestigious events like the World Championship and Shanghai Masters, Wilson recently experienced setbacks in tournaments like the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters and the English Open.
Aside from his snooker struggles, Wilson shared that his wife, Sophie, has been unwell, requiring him to take a break from the game to support her recovery. The couple, who have been together since 2009 and have two children, have been through tough times together, including Sophie’s previous stroke and surgery during one of Wilson’s matches.
Wilson, currently competing at the Xi’an Grand Prix, remains optimistic about his form after a recent standout performance. Despite the personal challenges he has faced, Wilson is dedicated to achieving success in the sport and making necessary sacrifices for his family’s well-being.
