As soon as I walked out today I thought, wow, what an arena and what a crowd. This is definitely one of the best venues I've ever played in. I was desperate to make the final so I'm delighted to do that."[27] In the evening session Trump whitewashed Slessor. After the match Trump said: "One of the best arenas you can play in, I had plenty left in the tank. I felt very relaxed out there. The table is a good test for everyone. The table conditions play so good here. I love playing here. The table is so reactive."[28][29]
Final
editThe final was played on 27 October as the best of 17 frames, played over two sessions. World number one Trump faced world number two Wilson.[12] At the end of the afternoon session Wilson led Trump 7–1, having taken the first seven frames.[30] Wilson went on to win the match 9–3. After the match Wilson said: "We all know Judd [Trump] is capable of reeling frames off in a row. It was about doing the right things. I turned up an hour before this evening's session when nobody would have blamed me for turning up ten minutes before thinking it was won. You can't allow that to happen against Judd." Trump said: "I want to thank everyone for their support tonight. It was always going to be difficult to come back from 7–1 down, but I got an amazing reception. Kyren [Wilson] was too good today. The way he has bounced back after winning the World Championship is inspiring. I hope we can have many more battles."[31][32][33]
