Zhao Xintong withstands Mark Williams comeback to create history in World Snooker Championship final

Resuming the final session one frame short of victory, Zhao was forced to wait for his history-making moment as the Welsh veteran reeled off four in a row to stretch the match beyond a mid-session interval.
