What a moment! When the referee and opponent give you a hug, Snooker is a beautiful sport. Congrats Mark!💙

[jamesw]

Can't believe the amount of people here saying they're not a fan of him! Always respectful to other player and undeniably one of snookers best players. Congrats Mark Selby 🎉

[ZAY]

What a moment to score 147 in a world championship final. You need incredible mental strength. Credit to Selby. His haters can do one. He is one of the ATG players.

[eamonnes]

What a huge smile, first time I've seen such a grin from Mark Selby, and interaction with the crowd getting them to cheer for him at the end Mexican wave style was class.

[bahramhkaraghan]

He definitely deserves more more Respect. He is a true champion

[evers_mhvn]

Not a big Selby fan, however to all the Selby haters - “slowby” just walked a maxi in the world finals with an average shot time of 17 seconds. 😂😂😂 well played Mark!

Mark Selby is an unbelievable player.The hate towards him started from 2014 when he beat Ronnie in that WC final.He would ve been loved like no other (except Ronnie O Sullivan ) if he hasn t denied him that title.I m a Ronnie fan, and a huge one, like many many others, and we feel devasted every time he loses.There is a saying..."there are no epic matches without formidable opponents", and this is true.Mark Selby is a formidable opponent.Hats off to him and we should give him the respect that he deserves: He s one of the greatest players that play the game.He s the ultimate snooker challenge.I hope he wins it cause if there s one player that should win at least 5, it s him.I don t hate u any more, Mark.I forgive u.

His "never give up mentality" is second to none

[cforsyth]

First ever maximum I watched live out of the many attempts from years of watching snooker. Forever historical!

[desireeveltsema]

It was absolutely awesome to see this happening live this evening! So exciting to watch and to hear the reaction of the crowd and his opponent and the referee, just such a special moment. What a great final and tournement so far! Good luck to both of them tomorrow!

[MC-rqbd]

I was there and the atmosphere at the Crucible when that happen was incredible. Something I will never forget. Mark Selby was great!

[ydrvfnl]

The disrespect selby gets is ridiculous one of the greatest ever to play the game and could end of with the most world titles by the time he retires

[JJ-Malone]

It's crazy to think it's the first 147 in a worlds final. Well done Mark, One of them best thing to come out of Leicester.

[mikedewis]

He is like the Novak Djokovic of snooker in terms of mental strength and composure under pressure. I like snooker way more than tennis, so Selby is my inspiration whenever I need to be focused, calm and determined.

[sdrtcacgnrjrc]

That was a beautiful 147, but i especially enjoyed the fun after

[doomniel]

The most complete snooker player. Heart of a champion. Forever Selby.

[toramenor]

Bravo Mark Selby is truly an outstanding, wonderful, exciting player, who has delivered so many spectacular moments, breaks, snookers, escapes, comebacks and victories throughout his career, especially in the last decade. I'm so happy he'll get to wear this jewel in his crown forever, as the first ever to achieve a 147 in the crucible final! Plus he won this session 6-3, so he's in a great position to push on and win his 5th title - I really hope he does, he deserves it!

[watgaz]

Congrats MS. Forget the haters, you cannot educate firewood. Top player 🏆

[kennethtalbott]

it don't get any better than that. 147 in the final. well done to our Lesta lad.

[highwaytohelles]

I'm pretty sure Luca was rooting for Mark to make a 147 after the frame was lost. This is what makes this sport so beautiful. You achieve something incredible and both the opponent and the ref are happy for you and hugging you. That's why I love this game so much. The sportsmanship is simply unparalleled.
