TEARS OF A CROWN

Emotional Kyren is on top of the world

- SHANE MacDERMOTT

KYREN WILSON burst into tears as he dedicated his maiden World Championship to his family following a year from hell off the table.

Devoted family man Wilson’s wife Sophie suffered a silent stroke due to stress after son Bailey fell seriously ill.

The Warrior, 32, has been a man on a mission in Sheffield this year.

And the twelfth seed withstood a spirited comeback from Welsh qualifier Jak Jones as he realised his boyhood dream with an 18-14 victory.

Fuelled by salmon and deep sleep, with the help of a hypnotherapist, Wilson found the winning formula to land the £500,000 top prize.
