Sad News: I want to Commit Suicide,Former World Champion Tony Drago charge with attempted…

The renowned Maltese player, who once reached the pinnacle of his career by achieving the 10th spot in the world rankings during the 1990s, secured a victory over Stuart Watson with a 3-1 scoreline in the quarter-finals.

 

 

 

 

Drago asserted his dominance early in the match, clinching the first frame with a characteristic swift break of 91, followed by capturing the second frame to solidify his lead.

 

Although Watson made a comeback by clinching a tight third frame, his missed opportunity to force a decider, particularly a simple final black, proved costly.

 

In a dramatic turn of events, Drago capitalized on the opportunity, potting the decisive ball and setting the stage for an exciting semi-final encounter against Igor Figueiredo.

 

However, amidst his success on the snooker table, the 58-year-old player expressed concerns about his mental well-being, revealing a challenging period in his personal life.

 

During a live interview on 5Action, Tony Drago opened up about his struggles, admitting, “If you said to me before I came here that you’re going to be in the semi-finals, I would have probably said to go where to sun don’t shine because, you know, I’m telling you, I don’t mind saying it in front of television, because it’s true.”

 

He further disclosed, “I spoke to Neal [Foulds] a few months ago. I didn’t want to live. I wanted to commit suicide with my problems I had, so to be here…”

Emotion overwhelmed Drago, leaving him unable to complete his sentence, yet he was met with a heartfelt round of applause from the audience at the Crucible Theatre.

 

A fixture on the professional circuit for three decades spanning from 1985 to 2016, Drago earned the moniker “the Tornado” for his remarkable speed and agility around the snooker table.

 

Currently, Drago finds himself just two victories away from securing his

inaugural title on the World Seniors Snooker Tour, along with the coveted top prize of £20,000.

 

Reflecting on his performance, he shared, “It feels great. I’m just a bit disappointed because I know I’m playing

well. But all of a sudden, in a best-of-five format, you make a mistake, and it’s game on.”

 

Expressing his personal ethos, Drago added, “I’m one of those people, unfortunately, where the performance

means more to me than winning. It’s still a great win, but I shouldn’t be struggling the way I’m playing. I should be making it easier because it was all over the place.”
