At Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, a single missed black ball became the hinge on which a career's worth of longing swung away from Mark Allen and toward a 22-year-old from China who had once slept in a windowless flat dreaming of exactly this moment. Wu Yize, trailing 14-16 and seemingly spent, summoned three consecutive frames of composed, attacking snooker to win 17-16 in a match that will endure in the sport's memory. The cruelty of elite competition was laid bare: not by one man outplaying another, but by the weight of accumulated hope proving too heavy for a single pair of hands to bear.
