Snooker sensation Kyren Wilson has revealed the challenging personal struggles he has faced off the snooker table, with his wife battling health issues. Despite being a top player in the sport at 33 years old, Wilson has encountered setbacks in recent tournaments.
Ranked second globally, Wilson clinched the World Championship in 2024 and triumphed at the Shanghai Masters this season. However, his performance suffered with early exits in the Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters, Wuhan Open, English Open, and British Open, reflecting his difficult period on the table.
Beyond snooker, Wilson shared the emotional toll of his wife Sophie’s illness, expressing the impact on his game. Having taken a hiatus from the game to support his wife during her recovery, Wilson is gradually regaining his focus on snooker and aiming for improved results.
Despite the challenges, Wilson remains committed to his career, emphasizing the sacrifices he and his family are willing to make for success. Currently competing in the Xi’an Grand Prix, Wilson is displaying positive form, highlighted by his recent maximum 147 break against Mark Williams.
Married since 2016, Wilson and his wife Sophie have weathered health challenges together, including her recent recovery from surgery following a stroke earlier this year. As Wilson continues his professional journey, he hopes for a resurgence in his form coinciding with his wife’s improved health.
