Wilson has a 7-1 lead over Jak Jones at the Crucible.
KYREN WILSON COMPLETED one of the most dominant opening sessions in the history of the World Snooker Championship final as he built a 7-1 lead over qualifier Jak Jones at the Crucible.
Wilson was in imperious form from the start as he rattled in two centuries, including a break of 129 in the opening frame, and four further half-centuries. And the Welshman was criticised by six-times world champion Steve Davis – who inflicted the eight-frame lead on Taylor – for not heading straight for the practice table at the interval.
Besides Taylor’s poor start against Davis, the only other time a player has lost the first seven frames of a Crucible final was in 1991, when Jimmy White fell 7-0 behind against John Parrott.
