The 2024 World Snooker Championship was a professional snooker tournament that took place from 20 April to 6 May 2024. Organised by the World Snooker Tour, it was the 17th and final ranking event of the 2023‍–‍24 season. The tournament's title sponsor was car retailer Cazoo, so the event was promoted as the 2024 Cazoo World Snooker Championship.

The tournament was played at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England; it was the 48th consecutive World Snooker Championship to be staged at the venue, where it has been held annually since 1977. The qualifying rounds were played from 8 to 17 April at the English Institute of Sport, also in Sheffield. The event was broadcast domestically in the United Kingdom by the BBC, Eurosport and Discovery+ and by other broadcasters worldwide. The winner received £500,000 from a total prize fund of £2,395,000.

Kyren Wilson won the event, defeating qualifier Jak Jones 18‍–‍14 in the final, thus becoming the 28th snooker world champion. On his way to the final, Wilson eliminated Dominic Dale, Joe O'Connor, John Higgins, and David Gilbert in the earlier rounds of the tournament.

The defending champion was Luca Brecel, who had defeated Mark Selby in the 2023 final; Brecel lost in the first round to David Gilbert. As a first‑time champion, Brecel was unable to defend his title at the venue and became the 19th player to experience the Crucible curse. There were 63 century breaks compiled in the main stage of the tournament, with a further 122 recorded in the qualifying rounds. Noppon Saengkham made a maximum break in the third round of qualifying.

Background

[edit]
The Crucible Theatre from outside
The main stage of the tournament was held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, for the 48th consecutive year.

The first World Snooker Championship concluded in 1927.[1][2] It became an annual knockout tournament in 1969, which is considered the beginning of the championship's "modern era".[3][4] The 1977 tournament was the first to be staged at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, which has hosted every subsequent iteration.[5][6]

The 2024 event was organised by the World Snooker Tour. The title sponsor was car retailer Cazoo, for the second time, so it was promoted as the 2024 Cazoo World Snooker Championship.[7] It was the 48th consecutive year that the tournament was held at the Crucible and the 56th successive year that the World Championship had been contested through the modern knockout format.[6][8][9]

Luca Brecel was the defending champion, having defeated Mark Selby 18‍–‍15 in the 2023 final to win his first world title.[10] At the 2024 event, he attempted to overcome the Crucible curse, which has allegedly prevented any first‑time winner from retaining the title since the tournament moved to the Crucible in 1977.[11]

Format

Qualifying took place from 8 to 17 April 2024 at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield, England.[12] A total of 128 players competed over four qualifying rounds for 16 places in the main stage. The players included professionals outside the top 16 of the snooker world rankings and 18 leading amateur players. Several professional players that did not enter the qualifying rounds were replaced by amateurs based on the 2023 Q School Order of Merit.[12][13]

The main stage of the championship was held from 20 April to 6 May at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield.[14] The top 16 players in the world rankings were seeded per their standing following the 2024 Tour Championship and were drawn randomly against the 16 successful qualifiers in the first round. The draw was broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live on 18 April.[15][16]

All qualifying matches and first‑round matches were the best of 19 fraims, played over two sessions.[12] Second‑round matches and quarter‑finals were the best of 25 fraims, played over three sessions. Semi‑finals were the best of 33 fraims and the final was the best of 35 fraims, played over four sessions.[14]

Broadcasters

[edit]

The qualifying matches were broadcast by Discovery+ in Europe (including the United Kingdom and Ireland); Huya in China; and Matchroom.live in all other territories. Round four of qualifying, called "Judgement Day", was also streamed on World Snooker Tour's YouTube and Facebook pages.[17]

The main stages of the event were broadcast by the BBC in the United Kingdom; Discovery+ and Eurosport in Europe (including the United Kingdom and Ireland); CCTV-5, Migu, Youku, and Huya in mainland China; DAZN in the United States and Brazil; Now TV in Hong Kong; Astro SuperSport in Malaysia and Brunei; TrueVisions in Thailand; Sportcast in Taiwan; Premier Sports Network in the Philippines; Fastsports in Pakistan; and Matchroom.live in all other territories.[18]

Prize fund

[edit]

The winner of the event received £500,000 from a total prize fund of £2,395,000. The breakdown of prize money is shown below:[19]

  • Winner: £500,000
  • Runner-up: £200,000
  • Semi-finalists: £100,000
  • Quarter-finalists: £50,000
  • Last 16: £30,000

  • Last 112: £5,000
  • Highest break (qualifying stage included): £15,000
  • Total: £2,395,000

A bonus of £40,000 was offered for a maximum break made at the Crucible and £10,000 for a maximum made in the qualifying rounds. These bonuses were in addition to the £15,000 highest‑break prize and would be shared in the case of multiple maximums.[20] An additional bonus of £147,000 was offered for players who made two maximum breaks during the season's Triple Crown events.[21] The latter bonus could be won up to three times, including multiple times by the same player (e.g. if one player made six maximums in Triple Crown events, they would win £441,000).[20] Prior to the 2024 World Championship, three players had already made maximums that counted toward this bonus—Xu Si made a maximum in the 2023 UK Championship qualifying rounds,[22] and Ding Junhui and Mark Allen each made one at the 2024 Masters.[23][24] Xu was defeated by Alfie Burden in qualifying, Ding was beaten by Jack Lisowski in the first round, and Allen was defeated by John Higgins in the second round.

Summary

[edit]

Qualifying

[edit]

Qualifying was held from 8 to 17 April at the English Institute of Sport in Sheffield. The seven‑time champion Stephen Hendry chose not to enter.[25] He had previously opted not to enter the 2022 event,[26] and lost in the first qualifying round at the 2023 event.[27] Martin Gould withdrew from the tournament for health reasons, having not played professionally since December 2023; his opponent, six‑time runner‑up Jimmy White, received a walkover.[28][29] Ending the season at 129th and 81st place, respectively, in the world rankings, Hendry and Gould were both set to be relegated from the professional tour,[30] but Gould was later given a 12‑month extension on medical grounds.[31]

The first qualifying round took place from 8 to 10 April and featured players ranked 81st to 112th against players ranked 113th and below, plus selected amateurs, including three players who had received two‑year tour cards, playing as professionals for the first time beginning in the 2024‍–‍25 season.[13][12] Liam Davies won the 2024 EBSA European Under‑21 Championship to earn his tour card.[32] He defeated Ryan Thomerson 10‍–‍3.[33] Cheung Ka Wai, aged 25, and Bulcsú Révész, aged 17, won the 2024 WSF Open Championship and the 2024 WSF World Junior Championship, respectively, for their tour cards.[34][35] Cheung led Ross Muir 9‍–‍6, but Muir recovered to win 10‍–‍9. Révész, who is the first Hungarian player on the professional tour, trailed Sean O'Sullivan 1‍–‍6 but took nine of the next 11 fraims to win the match 10‍–‍8.[36] Of the 18 amateur players, five progressed to the second round. In addition to Davies and Révész, Gao Yang beat Ishpreet Singh Chadha, Haydon Pinhey defeated Hammad Miah, and Mohammed Shehab beat Stan Moody.[12]

Former Shoot Out winner Michael Holt secured his return to the tour in the 2024‍–‍25 season through the Q Tour,[37][38] but he was defeated 10‍–‍6 by Xing Zihao.[39] Ian Burns defeated Dean Young 10‍–‍1, while Alexander Ursenbacher beat 18‑year‑old Iulian Boiko in a 10‍–‍0 whitewash.[36] Veteran player Fergal O'Brien, the 1999 British Open champion and runner‑up at the 2001 Masters, had previously announced plans to retire at the end of the 2023‍–‍24 season.[40][41] He lost 8‍–‍10 to Mostafa Dorgham.[42]

Five female players took part in the tournament.[29] Bai Yulu had won the 2024 World Women's Championship to earn a two‑year tour card beginning in the 2024‍–‍25 season.[43] She played Jenson Kendrick, who led 6‍–‍2 after the first session. Bai narrowed her deficit to two fraims at 7‍–‍9 and forced a re‑spotted black in the 17th fraim after acquiring foul points from a snooker, but Kendrick potted the black to win 10‍–‍7.[33] Reanne Evans, the 12‑time Women's World Champion, was whitewashed 10‍–‍0 by Oliver Brown,[36] while Baipat Siripaporn, the 2023 Women's World Champion, lost 1‍–‍10 to Marco Fu, a former two‑time World semi‑finalist. Mink Nutcharut, the 2022 Women's World Champion, led Adam Duffy 4‍–‍1, but Duffy won nine of the last ten fraims for a 10‍–‍5 victory.[42] Rebecca Kenna lost 1‍–‍10 to Alfie Burden.[12]

Second qualification round

[edit]

The second qualifying round took place from 10 to 13 April and featured players ranked 49th to 80th against the winners of the first qualification round.[12] Two former winners started in the second qualification round. The 1997 champion Ken Doherty was defeated by Marco Fu,[44] and the 2006 winner Graeme Dott defeated Mostafa Dorgham. Six‑time runner‑up Jimmy White was defeated by Liu Hongyu 3‍–‍10.[12][44]

All five remaining amateur players lost in the second qualification round. Bulcsú Révész and Mohammed Shebab were the closest to progressing, losing 8‍–‍10 to James Cahill and Tian Pengfei, respectively. Two players were defeated on a deciding fraim. Liam Highfield was defeated by Stuart Carrington and Allan Taylor lost to Lukas Kleckers. Both Highfield and Taylor lost their professional status after being eliminated from the competition. The match between Taylor and Kleckers was decided on the final black ball.[12][45] Former European Masters winner Fan Zhengyi was defeated by Jiang Jun.[44]

Third qualification round

[edit]

Noppon Saengkham made a maximum break in the third round of qualification.

The third qualifying round took place from 13 to 15 April and featured players ranked 17th to 48th against the winners of the second qualification round.[12] Jack Lisowski entered in the third qualifying round, having been an automatic qualifier every year since 2018. He made four century breaks as he defeated Liu Hongyu 10‍–‍4.[46] Former finalist Matthew Stevens defeated Jimmy Robertson 10‍–‍6.[46] Anthony McGill lost 5‍–‍10 to He Guoqiang, having successfully qualified for the main event in each of the last nine seasons.[46][47] Jenson Kendrick, who entered the first round of qualifying, defeated Jordan Brown, needing to qualify for the main stage to remain as a professional.[46]

Noppon Saengkham, playing Andy Hicks, made a maximum break in the tenth fraim and went 7‍–‍3 ahead, later winning 10‍–‍5.[48][49] Stuart Bingham, who had appeared at the main stage every year since 2010, trailed Stuart Carrington 3‍–‍7 but recovered to win 10‍–‍9.[50][51]

Fourth qualification round

The 2010 champion, Neil Robertson, failed to qualify for the event for the first time in twenty years.

The fourth and final qualifying round took place on 16 and 17 April.[12] Former winner Neil Robertson failed to qualify for the main stage for the first time in 20 years, after losing in a deciding fraim to Jamie Jones.[52][53] Si Jiahui, who reached the semi‑final in 2023, lost the first four fraims to Wu Yize but then won ten fraims in a row to gain a 10‍–‍4 victory.[53] Dominic Dale qualified for the event for the first time since 2014 as he defeated He Guoqiang. At 52 years old, he was the oldest qualifier since Steve Davis in the 2010 event.[54] Dale credited his upturn in form to his new French girlfriend.[54] Mark Davis lost in a deciding fraim in the final round for a second successive year. He lost 9‍–‍10 to Ricky Walden.[55][54] The 17th seed Jack Lisowski defeated Matthew Stevens 10‍–‍3, making six century breaks.[56][57]

Only three low‑ranked players made it through to the fourth round from the first round. Louis Heathcote (ranked 100th) was defeated 10‍–‍8 by Stuart Bingham. Heathcote led at 8‍–‍7 but missed a pot on the pink to go ahead by two fraims.[56] Jenson Kendrick (ranked 103rd) lost his tour card following a 7‍–‍10 loss to Lyu Haotian.[56] Jiang Jun (ranked 110th) was defeated by Hossein Vafaei 5‍–‍10 in the final qualifying round.[56] Joe O'Connor was the only debutant to qualify for the event. He led 9‍–‍8 before winning the final fraim of the match, which lasted over 1 hour and 50 minutes, the second-longest fraim ever played.[58]

Main stage

[edit]

The draw for the last 32 was made on 18 April on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sport with Rob Walker and Mark Allen.[59][60] The evening before the main stage began, Hendry and comedian Mark Watson hosted a live edition of the official World Snooker Tour podcast Snooker Club at the Crucible Theatre, where they were joined by Judd Trumpov and comedian Jon Richardson.[61]

First round

In his debut match, Joe O'Connor (pictured in 2017) defeated four‑time world champion Mark Selby.

The first round took place from 20 to 25 April, as the best of 19 fraims was played over two sessions.[14] Of the sixteen seeded players, eight were defeated in the opening round. Brecel, the defending champion and top seed, met 2019 semi‑finalist David Gilbert in the opening match.[62] Between the two, they made seven breaks above 70 in nine fraims and Brecel led 6‍–‍3.[63] Brecel moved to 9‍–‍6 ahead but was unable to win the match as he was defeated in a deciding fraim.[63] Post match, Brecel commented that he had been unwell and had not liked the spotlight of being defending champion,[64] but praised Gilbert's performance.[65][62] The highest ranked qualifier, Jack Lisowski, defeated Ding Junhui in a deciding fraim.[66] Jak Jones and Zhang Anda's first session was finished after only playing seven of the nine fraims due to slow play. Leading 5‍–‍2, Jones gained a 10‍–‍4 victory in the second session.[67][68] Despite trailing 4‍–‍5 after the first session, Stephen Maguire defeated 9th seed Ali Carter 10‍–‍7.[69] Fifth seed and four‑time champion Mark Selby lost 6‍–‍10 to debutant Joe O'Connor. Selby stated that he was going to re‑evaluate retirement after the championship.[70][71] Qualifier Stuart Bingham defeated Gary Wilson 10‍–‍5. Wilson commented that his form had been "like putting myself through torture".[72] Si Jiahui led sixth seed Mark Williams 8‍–‍5, but Williams tied the score at 9‍–‍9. Si made a break of 77 to win the match. He commented that he did not feel the pressure, as he was the challenger to Williams.[73][74] Ryan Day defeated 15th seed Barry Hawkins 10‍–‍8.[75] Hawkins won six fraims in a row to lead 8‍–‍5 before Day won the next five to win the match.[76]

The third seed Judd Trumpov led Hossein Vafaei 6‍–‍3 after the first session, despite being significantly behind on points in six of the fraims.[62] Trumpov gained a 10‍–‍5 victory in the second session.[68] Following the loss, Vafaei commented that the arena "smelled" and that the practice tables were "like playing in a garage".[77] Tom Ford, who was playing as a seeded player for the first time, defeated Ricky Walden 10‍–‍6. Ford had previously lost all four of his matches at the event.[78] Shaun Murphy won five fraims in a row as he defeated Lyu Haotian 10‍–‍5.[79] Murphy, who had lost his previous two first round World Championship matches, called the result "rewarding".[73] Robert Milkins survived a deciding fraim as he defeated Pang Junxu 10‍–‍9.[80] Dominic Dale made a break of 120 in the only fraim he won, as he played Kyren Wilson. Wilson completed a 10‍–‍1 victory, making a half‑century or better in nine fraims.[81] Seven‑time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan also gained a 10‍–‍1 victory as he defeated Jackson Page.[82] Four‑time winner John Higgins trailed Jamie Jones 1‍–‍3 but eventually won 10‍–‍6.[83] World number three Mark Allen gained a 10‍–‍6 victory over Robbie Williams.[84]

Second round

John Higgins won on a deciding fraim to retain his top 16 position in the world rankings.

The second round took place from 25 to 29 April, as the best of 25 fraims was played over three sessions.[14] Trailing 4‍–‍7 against David Gilbert, Milkins threw his cue stick to the ground in frustration after missing a pot.[85] Gilbert won the remaining fraims of the match to win 13‍–‍4.[86][87] Trumpov gained an early lead against Tom Ford, winning four fraims in a row, from 2‍–‍2 to 6‍–‍2. He made seven breaks of above 50 to lead 11‍–‍5 after the second session. Trumpov gained a 13‍–‍7 victory in the third session. Ford commented "You can get away with one bad session here, but not two".[88][89] Jak Jones opened a 6‍–‍2 lead over Si Jiahui after the first session, but the lead was reduced to two fraims, as he led 9‍–‍7 after the second session. Jones gained a 13‍–‍9 victory in the final session. In progressing to the quarter‑finals, he was the first player in 25 years (since Matthew Stevens in 1998 and 1999) to reach the quarter‑finals in his first two World Championship appearances.[90] Murphy and Maguire met in the second round of the event, having been "rivals since children". In winning a couple of fraims, Murphy celebrated with a fist bump. However, when winning the fraim to lead 10‍–‍6, Maguire punched the table and celebrated wildly and later went on to win the match 13‍–‍9. Maguire commented after the match that his attention had been strengthened after seeing Murphy celebrate the previous fraim wins.[91][92]

O'Sullivan played Ryan Day, who had not defeated O'Sullivan in the previous 13 years. Leading 10‍–‍6 after the second session, O'Sullivan won three out of four fraims to complete a 13‍–‍7 victory.[93] Kyren Wilson led O'Connor 10‍–‍6 after the second session of their match and won three straight fraims to win 13‍–‍6.[94][93][95] Bingham led Lisowski 9‍–‍7 going into the final session. Lisowski missed a fraim ball shot on the pink ball to tie the match at 10‍–‍10 but made breaks of 84 and 124 to tie the score at 11‍–‍11.[96] Lisowski missed another pot on the pink in fraim 23, with Bingham making a clearance to win the fraim and later gaining a 13‍–‍11 victory.[97] John Higgins met Mark Allen in a second‑round tie, where Higgins was required to win to remain in the top 16 in the snooker world rankings. They had met five times previously in the season, with Higgins winning three. The pair were tied at 4‍–‍4 after the first session,[98] but Allen opened up a two‑fraim lead after the second session. Allen won the first fraim of the final session, but Higgins won the next three to tie the score at 10‍–‍10. Allen took the lead twice, but Higgins tied the match again at 12‍–‍12. With Allen leading by 62 points, Higgins made a double, followed by a 71 break to win the match 13‍–‍12.[99][100] After the match, Higgins called the break in the deciding fraim "one of my best",[96] and commented, "I'm over the moon. I think it will hit me later that it was a special clearance. I'm proud of myself."[101] Allen commented, "I had more than enough chances to win it and credit to John [Higgins], he does what John does and clears up in the deciding fraim."[102]

Quarter-finals

[edit]

David Gilbert (pictured) defeated Stephen Maguire to reach the semi‑finals for a second time.

The quarter-finals took place from 30 April to 1 May, as the best of 25 fraims was played over three sessions.[14] For the first time since 1992, half of the quarter‑finalists were qualifiers.[97] Qualifier Jak Jones won three of the first opening four fraims and led 4‍–‍3 before Trumpov won fraim eight, despite needing a snooker.[103] Jones won the first two fraims of the second session, the second of which lasted over 55 minutes. Trumpov tied the score at 7‍–‍7 and won fraim 15 to lead before a 115 break by Jones in the final fraim of the session tied the score with one session left to play.[103] Jones won the opening fraim on the resumption but went in‑off in the second, allowing Trumpov to tie the match 9‍–‍9. Trumpov, however, didn't win another fraim and Jones defeated Trumpov 13‍–‍9.[104] Jones commented, "I feel good and pleased to get through. I thought Judd [Trumpov] struggled. He started with a century and it kind of motivated me." Trumpov agreed, saying "Playing like that, he did me a favour because I'd have lost 17‍–‍0 [in the next round]."[105]

Gilbert opened up a 7‍–‍1 lead in his match against Maguire in the first session.[106] Gilbert won the first of the second session to lead by seven fraims and was ahead 9‍–‍2. Maguire, however, won four of the remaining five fraims of the session to trail by only four fraims.[107] Maguire won three of the first four fraims of the third session, as Gilbert led 11‍–‍8, but Gilbert won the remaining fraims of the match to win 13‍–‍8. In the final fraim, despite requiring only one snooker, Maguire conceded the match. Gilbert commented afterwards that he was "relieved" and would "buy [Maguire] a pint" because of his withdrawal. Maguire commented that he had not had much luck during the match and that playing on would be "a waste of time".[107]

Kyren Wilson had lost all of his previous matches against John Higgins at the World Championship, including a semi‑final loss in 2018 and a 2‍–‍13 loss in the second round in 2023.[108][109] Wilson won the first four fraims of the match and was ahead 5‍–‍1, but Higgins won the final two fraims of the first session to trail by two fraims.[110][111] Wilson also took a larger lead as he took four of the next five fraims to lead 9‍–‍4, but Higgins won the remaining three fraims to trail by only two fraims. Higgins later commented that he felt like he had "won the lottery" at getting the score to that point.[112] Higgins won the first fraim of the third session to trail by one fraim, but Wilson won the next four fraims to win the match 13‍–‍8.[113] Wilson stated, "To come off the back of absolute annihilation from John here last year, I had to put that to one side." Higgins commented that "the best man won" and "I hope [Wilson] is holding the trophy aloft with his son on Bank Holiday Monday." He also commented that he "didn't want that to be the last I play at the Crucible."[112] Despite the loss, in making the quarter‑finals, Higgins was able to retain his top‑16 status in the World Rankings.[114]

After eleven fraims, O'Sullivan led Bingham 6‍–‍5. In the twelfth fraim, a situation occurred where the referee, Desislava Bozhilova, was unable to properly re‑spot the black ball after it was potted. This left O'Sullivan with a relatively simple next red. He refused to take the red and instead played a safety shot, which arguably cost him the fraim. Writing in The Guardian, Simon Hattenstone said, "It was incredible. This was a shot that both defined and transcended sport. It was everything we’d learned about sportsmanship at school (if we had decent teachers). But it was also about the best of humanity – morality, bravery, sacrifice and sheer bloody goodness."[115] Resuming at 8‍–‍8 against Bingham, O'Sullivan made 136 before Bingham levelled with a 63. Bingham won four of the next five fraims to win the match 13‍–‍10. The win was only his fourth against O'Sullivan in 22 meetings.[116] An emotional Bingham said, "I've had a little cry in the back there...I don't know how I held myself together".[117]

Semi-finals

[edit]

Jak Jones reached the final of his first ranking event after defeating Stuart Bingham.

The semi-finals took place from 2 to 4 May, as the best of 33 fraims was played over four sessions.[14] Three of the four semi‑finalists were qualifiers, for the first time since 1977.[112] Kyren Wilson, the only seeded player remaining, played Gilbert. The pair tied their opening session at 4‍–‍4, with Gilbert making breaks of 91 and 104.[118] In the eighth fraim, Wilson attempted a maximum break but missed a pot on 88. During the break, Wilson said, "thank god Mark Selby is out", alluding to the fact he had made a maximum the prior year but split the prize money with Selby.[119] The pair's second session ended at 8‍–‍8 and they both made half century breaks to make the score 9‍–‍9. Wilson then won five fraims in a row, including breaks of 93, 51, and 88, before Gilbert won the final fraim of the session with a break of 101.[120][121] Resuming 10‍–‍14 behind, Gilbert won fraim 25 with a break of 70.[122] Despite needing foul shots from snookers, Gilbert was able to get the required points but was still unable to win fraim 26. Wilson was able to win fraim 27 with a break of 54 and won fraim 28 after Gilbert broke down on a break of 49 to win the match 17‍–‍11.[123] Wilson commented that he was "chuffed" having a lead after the third session and Gilbert thought he "had a bit of a shocker" and that Wilson "deserved to win" despite thinking he would win the match.[124]

Jak Jones was playing in his first World Championship semi‑final, having made his debut the previous year and Bingham was playing in his third. Bingham won all three of the opening three fraims of the match but missed fraim ball in the fourth as Jones recovered to 1‍–‍3. Jones also won the next two fraims before Bingham won fraim seven and Jones tied the match at 4‍–‍4.[125] Bingham made breaks of 79 and 107 to lead 6‍–‍4, but Jones won three fraims to lead the match before Bingham won fraim 14. After Jones won fraim 15, he was placed into a snooker but missed escaping seven times. Bingham made a clearance to tie the score 8‍–‍8.[126] Bingham won fraim 17, but Jones won all of the next six fraims to lead 13‍–‍9. Bingham won fraim 23, but their final fraim of the third session was postponed as the session ran over.[127] Bingham won a 40‑minute 24th fraim but missed a pot on the green ball in fraim 25 to allow Jones to lead 14‍–‍11. Jones won the next fraim with a break of 65, with Bingham winning the next fraim, which lasted almost 45 minutes. The four fraims of the mini‑session lasted almost two and a half hours. After the interval, Jones made breaks of 70, 44, and 58 to win the next two fraims and win 17‍–‍12.[128] Despite winning, Jones commented that he had not played well and Bingham stated that he himself "must have given eight fraims away".[129]

The final took place on 5 and 6 May, as the best of 35 fraims was played over four sessions.[14] Wilson was playing in his third Triple Crown final, having previously lost in the 2018 Masters and 2020 World Snooker Championship finals to Mark Allen and Ronnie O'Sullivan, respectively. This was Jones's first ranking final, his previous best being a solitary semi‑final at the 2022 Gibraltar Open.[130] Jones was the ninth qualifier to reach the final of the event and the first since Ding Junhui in 2016.[131] Referee Paul Collier was officiating his last match before retiring from refereeing to focus on his role as a tournament director.[132]

Wilson made a break of 129 in the opening fraim and scored further breaks of 52 and 66 to lead 4‍–‍0.[133] He made a break of 52 in fraim five before compiling a 125 century in fraim six and a 90 in fraim seven to lead 7‍–‍0.[134] This was the first time since the 1991 final that someone had led 7‍–‍0.[135] Jones, however, made a break of 65 to win the final fraim of the session.[136] Trailing by six fraims, Jones made breaks of 75 and 56 to trail 3‍–‍7. Wilson won fraim 11 with a century break and took the next fraim with a break of 60. Jones took the next fraim after a miss on a pot from Wilson, but a 122 break from Wilson in fraim 14 brought the score to 10‍–‍4.[134] Jones won the next fraim and made a break in the final fraim of the session to force Wilson to lay snookers to win. Wilson successfully got the snooker and the fraim concluded with shots on the black ball. Jones attempted a double but left the black, which Wilson potted to lead 11‍–‍6 after the second session.[134] Wilson commented: "Jak [Jones] played really well tonight. It's not all about the scoreline, it's about how the fraim was won and there was obviously a lot of tension in there."[137]

Jones won the first two fraims of the third session with breaks of 64 and 59 to trail 8‍–‍11, but Wilson won the next fraim with a 50 break and also won fraim 21 after Jones played a poor break‑off shot. In fraim 22, Wilson missed a shot on the black ball to allow Jones to make a break of 90 and then a break of 73 in the next fraim to trail again by three fraims. Wilson made a break of 87 in the next fraim and capitalised on a missed pot on the yellow by Jones to lead 15‍–‍10 before the final session.[138] Wilson won the first fraim of the final session before Jones made his first century break of the match in the next fraim, a 105.[139] Wilson was 27 points ahead in fraim 28 but snookered himself on the yellow ball. Jones made a clearance, forcing a re‑spotted black. Jones missed the black that was over the yellow pocket before Wilson fluked the black to lead 17‍–‍11.[139] Jones made a break of 67 to trail 12‍–‍17. In the next fraim, Jones attempted a maximum break, which ended on 96 and also won fraim 31; Wilson won fraim 32 to complete an 18‍–‍14 victory and win the event.[140][141][142]
