Welsh snooker player Jak Jones has reached the final of the 2024 World Snooker Championship, being held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. Known as ‘The Silent Assassin’, the 30-year-old has defeated prominent players including Ali Carter, Neil Robertson, and Judd Trump, making a significant impression with his skill and composure. Encouraged by fellow Welsh player Darren Morgan, Jones aims to become the third qualifier ever to win the championship.

Jones will compete against Kyren Wilson in the final, who previously finished as a runner-up and earned his spot this year by defeating David Gilbert. The final promises excitement following a tournament filled with unexpected upsets. The event will be broadcast live in the UK on the BBC and Eurosport, starting at 1pm BST. Additionally, it can be streamed on the BBC iPlayer, BBC Sport website, and through the Discovery+ service for Eurosport subscribers.

This year’s championship is especially notable as it will be the last under the current trophy’s name, adding a historic aspect to the finale.
