But he was based in the first session by amateur cueist Xintong28, who dominated the afternoon procedures of the two -day final.

Ken DohertyThe 1997 world champion, said that Xintong “was almost born to play here” and “destroys one of the greats, one of the icons of the game”.

Six times a world conqueror Steve Davis Said: “There is a little self-sabotage mark somehow frozen. It is a tough fight.”

Williams For the first time, a teenager Xintong played in 2011 in an exhibition on television in the Hunan region and despite the age gap he was impressed by what the younger did.

The World No6 – whose eldest son Connor is only seven years younger than Xintong – said: “There were about 500 people there.

“Probably 200 or 300 million people watched live on TV. It was 1-1 and he beat in 113 or 138 or something to beat me 3-1, the little S ***.

“But here we are, almost 15 years later, I play him in the final, which is incredible.”

“Because they are the reason why most of our young Welshe people play snooker.”

Williams – who hurt his ankle last Wednesday while he fell over a step in the media room – looked his age when he gently came down the stairs to the Arena for the first introduction.

Xintong is known as the cyclone for his fast start and he opened with a 77 break in the opening frame.

He then produced a 100 break in Frame two, which saw a fantastic brilliant plant on the Reds.

The Chinese amateur stable frame three on black, even though he had to take evasive action when he was attacked by a fly!

Williams finally put a frame on the board HIJ was 3-1 down during the middle session interval but the losing frame six was a body run, since he had been 61-37.
