While Wilson certainly played some good snooker he was helped by a very favourable draw compared to most (other than Higgins, but he's arguably past his best now). Dominic Dale in round 1 ffs. Then he met world number 44 in the final, he couldn't have wished for an easier path to the trophy. I'm pleased for him, but I don't see him being a multiple winner.
Well done to Wilson, but not a great tournament this year with so many big names going out early (Selby, Williams) and neither Trump or Ronnie making the final.
Trump will be kicking himself… got dragged down by JJ slow play in that QF. His weird technique (play to miss then correct) sometimes falls down

The final might not have been top quality but it was (reasonably) close in the end and there was a new winner. So I enjoyed it all. Better than seeing Trump/Selby/O'Sullivan win again anyway. Though perhaps I shouldn't include Trump in that; I'd assumed he'd won more than once but just looked down a list and see he hasn't.
Not going to go down in history as a classic, all the big names gone early and at times it felt a little flat.
I think if Jones had got a better start he would have won it.
Will be interesting to see how many more years it stays at the Crucible Theatre or they take the money and move it.
