Mark Selby defended his World Championship title at the Crucible with a stunning comeback last night.
The world number one came from 10-4 down to eventually win 18-15.
Mark Selby told BBC Sport: "When I was 10-4 down I was missing everything and had nothing left. I said 'pull something together'. If you lose, you want to at least go down fighting. To have three world titles is unbelievable and to be one of only four players to defend it is something I could only dream of."
Selby has now been world number one for a staggering 116 weeks - and picked up a tasty £375,000 in prize money.
Congratulations to the Jester from Leicester! 👏 https://t.co/yWFol0UGWY
