‘Disappointed’ Williams weighing up retirement after bowing out to Doherty

TWICE Masters champion Mark Williams revealed he may retire at the end of the season after crashing out of this year’s tournament.

The Welshman, a Masters winner in 1998 and 2003, looked in good shape as he raced into a 2-0 lead over Irishman Ken Doherty in their last 16 meeting.

But two-time Masters finalist Doherty hit back in sensational style to win six frames in succession for a deserved 6-2 victory and place in the quarter-finals of this year’s £460,000 event at the Wembley Conference Centre.
