Saengkham said: "When I was 3‍–‍1 down I just had a 15-minute break. I felt nervous and went back to talk with my wife and [daughter] little Believe. I knew it could either happen again and I could lose in another semi-final or I could win today. I just tried to stay in the game and control something. I did it today."[26][27]

Final

Saengkham won the 13th frame, but Wilson won the 14th with a 53 break to clinch the match 9‍–‍5, successfully defending the title and claiming his second ranking event victory. After the match, Wilson said: "This game is crazy. I was absolutely nowhere for quite a while and didn't expect anything this week. Slowly but surely I found a little bit and a little bit more, to the point where I am actually quite proud of myself for the final. I've wanted to play in a final again and play in a solid way like I used to play when I was younger. I felt like I played that way." Saengkham said: "I have to give all of the credit to Gary. In the first session he was very strong. He scored very heavily and he controlled everything with the safety game. I had so much pressure because he didn’t miss and was very good."[5][28]
