SNOOKER world champion Kyren Wilson was involved in an amusing incident at the Masters this afternoon.
Wilson, 33, was in first round action against China’s Zhang Anda at Alexandra Palace.
Trailing by two frames to nil, Zhang found himself leading the third 64-0.
With a difficult red to pot, Zhang took his time pondering his shot.
As he continued to consider his next move, Wilson jokingly asked for a re-rack, given his 64-0 deficit.
When Zhang eventually played his shot off the cushion, he came agonisingly close to potting the red and continuing his break.
As the crowd gasped, Zhang joked to Wilson: “Let’s have a re-rack then.”
The reigning world champ laughed, as did the majority of those within Ally Pally.
Zhang’s good humour then earned him a round of applause.
But unfortunately for him this counted for nothing on the scoreboard, with Wilson going on to claim a 3-1 lead.
He swiftly dusted himself down, however, winning the next frame to cut the deficit to 3-2.
The winner of the clash will book a quarter-final date with either Luca Brecel or Chris Wakelin.
