Mark Williams: "I still have ranking titles in me"

Mark Williams has insisted that he is still capable of winning ranking titles following his victory over Neil Robertson in the Welsh Open.

The 38-year-old advanced through to the last 16 of the tournament in Newport, beating world number one Robertson 4-3 yesterday.

"I still think I have ranking titles in me, the last one was three years ago but I know I have to work," Williams is quoted as saying by The Express.

"I have played the last 17 years at the Crucible, and you would be sick if you lost a qualifier. All the hard work all year would be wiped out."

Williams has won the Welsh Open on two previous occasions.
