World Snooker Championship 2025 LIVE RESULTS: Mark Williams takes on Zhao Xintong in blockbuster final – latest updates

Final Day

Morning and welcome to the final day of this year’s World Snooker Championship at the Crucible. 

The last two weeks and a bit have seen some of snooker’s finest contest in Sheffield for the sport’s grandest prize, but only one can win. 

From last year’s champion in Kyren Wilson being a victim of the Crucible curse in the first round to Ronnie O'Sullivan’s remarkable run to the semi-finals, the very best have endured the bravado of snooker’s World Cup.

O'Sullivan, like world No.1 Judd Trump, fell to the brilliance of our two finalists: Mark Williams and Zhao Xintong. 

The former is no stranger in this arena, looking to a fourth World title to his collection, whilst Zhao aims to become the third consecutive first-time winner and first Asian after the success of Wilson and Luca Brecel in the last years. 

There’s talk of a potential change in scenery in the future, but when the tournament keeps producing moments like this, why move? 

“Snooker and Sheffield go together hand in glove – it used to be steel, it’s now snooker,” ex-champion Shaun Murphy said.

Stay tuned for all the latest build-up for the afternoon’s action!
