When it comes to the best snooker players in the world, Kyren Wilson is definitely on the list. Although he hasn't been quite as impressive in recent years, he has been able to rack up four major ranking titles, including two Triple Crown events. He also managed to save a lot money.
Kyren Wilson began his career as an amateur. His talent began at six years of age and was already a surprise to his parents. He became a pro snooker star in 2015 when he gave his first outstanding performance at Shanghai Masters. After one year of playing in amateur competitions, he finally earned his spot at the top of the snooker league.
Although he's achieved a lot in his short career, he didn't win the real prize until he was able to secure his place on the main stage. He beat Marcus Campbell in his qualifying round and then defeated Stephen Maguire (and Marco Fu) in the subsequent rounds. He was defeated in his first qualifying round by Marcus Campbell, and then lost to Stephen Maguire and Marco Fu in the next two rounds. Michael Holt eliminated him in the quarterfinals. But it was a performance he will most likely keep in his mind for a long, time.
His victory at the German Masters 2018, his biggest achievement, has been Kyren's greatest accomplishment. He defeated David Gilbert to win the title. He also won the title in the Paul Hunter Classic. He is now guaranteed to be in the top 10 of snooker after reaching the finals for three major ranking events.
All of the top snooker players can produce great snooker, provided they have the right mindset. However, they all have their flaws. Some are abrasive, others are too good to be true. And, as is the case with most of the greats, the average Kyren Wilson isn't much of a showboat.
Kyren Wilson may be English, but his career is full of surprises. One thing is certain, he doesn't like to get upset easily. He likes to keep to his routine, especially in the months leading up to his wedding. Sophie Lauren, his wife, is the mother to his two children. She kept him on his toes even while he was on the global stage.
Kyren has been awarded many accolades and won the hearts and affections of his fans. His ranking title aside, he has managed to save a substantial amount of cash. He's not the richest player, but his net worth is about 2.5 million.
At the close of the 2010/11 season he was ranked 5th in the world. He played all 12 PTC Events during the season. He did well, finishing 72nd in the PTC Order of Merit.
