A top snooker player fell asleep in the middle of his match in one of the most prestigious events in the sport
“My head went down and I woke up and I didn’t have a clue where I was,” Mark Williams said after his loss to Anthony Hamilton in the UK Championship late Sunday.
Williams, a three-time world champion and one of snooker's most charismatic players, was in his chair and in the lead at 3-2 when he nodded off while Hamilton was at the table.
The 46-year-old Williams said he was “just shattered,” having just returned to action after contracting COVID-19 in October.
“I need to be playing in the mornings, really, or afternoons. The more the day goes on the more tired I get," said Williams, who lost 6-5 at the York Barbican.
“Thirty years as a professional," he added, “that’s the first time I’ve ever fell asleep in the chair.”
