Kyren Wilson Criticizes Snooker Treatment After Defeat

Kyren Wilson, the reigning world champion in snooker, has publicly criticized the World Snooker Tour after being relegated to the secondary table during his matches, including his recent fourth-round defeat to Elliott Slessor at the British Open. Following his loss, Wilson expressed his frustration on social media, questioning the benefits of being a world champion when he feels consistently overlooked in favor of more popular players. He lamented, 'Same s*** different day, demoted to table 2 again,' highlighting his dissatisfaction with the treatment he receives despite being the highest-ranked player in his session. His comments have sparked debate among fans, with some supporting his grievances while others suggest that his playing style may not attract as much viewership. Wilson's experience reflects broader concerns within the sport regarding the criteria used for match placements and the visibility of top players. The World Snooker Tour has yet to respond to Wilson's criticisms.
