Kyren Wilson has faced some criticism for his celebration after a win against Stan Moody at the World Snooker Championship.The 2024 World Champion knocked out the 19-year-old snooker sensation, denying him a dream win on debut at the Crucible.Wilson came from behind to beat 19-year-old Moody on MondayGettyMoody led the match 6-3 at the interval, looking to pull off a major upset in his first-ever outing in the tournament.And the rising star even went on to lead 7-3, but things then turned in Wilson’s favour, as he won seven straight frames.It saw Wilson come away a 10-7 winner and progress through to the second round, sending his young opponent home. Moody was hoping to become the youngest player to win a match at the Crucible since Ronnie O’Sullivan in 1995.The 10-7 win came as a major relief for former champion Wilson and that was clear to see in his celebration.After potting the black to win the final frame, he fist pumped into the air, looking up into the stands.And as he walked away from the table, following a handshake with Moody, he did another two determined fist pumps.It’s likely that Wilson, as a sportsman, was simply expressing his relief and happiness at avoiding an upset against Moody on Monday.However, his reaction has caused some backlash from fans.One snooker fan wrote on X: “Wilson only 2 breaks over 50, boring snooker brought the young lad down to his level, and punching the air in front of the teenager was embarrassing.”View Tweet: https://twitter.com/hashtag/WorldChampionship?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwWilson was clearly very relieved to have fought back from defeatGettyAnother posted: “Unnecessary fist pump.”“Embarrassing from Wilson celebrating like he’d won the tournament, not the first round,” a third fan wrote.However, Wilson was defended by some after criticism came his way, with one fan responding: “Y’all are cry babies he won a tough match he has the right to celebrate…hate on Kyren is so forced.”‘I was fighting’ Speaking after battling through in the World Championship, Wilson explained how much he had to push to avoid a shock.“I dug in deeper than deep,” he said. “It was really difficult at 7-3 down and you just have to keep going to the well and I won a couple of really big frames.“I was fighting with a few feelings and you have to dig in and win that scrappy one and see if it can turn around. Moody looked to be on the brink of a historic win until Wilson’s comebackGetty“Stan has not got the experience I have got, especially here and I knew coming into the evening the adrenaline would seep out.“Stan has been a credit, especially to the younger generation. “My kids know his name – he is inspiring them and they are going to the same junior tournaments he was playing in.”Debut disappointment Amid the backlash for Wilson, Moody reflected on his first World Championship appearance that ended in a comeback loss.He said: “Just too many bad frames. I had the match won at 7-3, but then I missed the red to go 8-3 and he won it with three snookers.“I felt comfortable out there, but bad frames like that hurt. But I will come back stronger. Hopefully, I will be here next year. I just try to learn what shots to play at the right time and to miss less balls.”Moody heads home from the Crucible disappointed, while Wilson will take on Mark Allen in the second round of the tournament.
