Breakthrough! Snooker Northern Ireland Open Report: Lisowski clinches first title with a 9-8 win over Trump

On October 27th Beijing time, the Snooker Northern Ireland Open final wrapped up. Following a fierce clash, Lisowski endured a tough 17-frame contest to edge out world number one Trump 9-8, unexpectedly capturing his first ranking event championship. This represents a significant breakthrough, as he finally secured a title after finishing second six times, which was no easy feat. Upon winning, Lisowski jubilantly raised his arms to celebrate this well-deserved triumph!

Trump, ranked number one globally, holds 30 ranking titles. Although his form this season was average, he regained momentum in this tournament by eliminating Mark Allen to reach the final. His opponent, Lisowski, ranked only 29th, had previously finished runner-up six times in ranking events. In this tournament, he defeated Selby and Kyren Wilson, and Zhou Yuelong to reach the final, showing excellent form. Tonight’s highlight is whether Trump will claim his 31st title or Lisowski will secure his 7th runner-up finish — the answer is about to be revealed!

The match began with Lisowski taking the first frame through steady scoring. Trump then responded with a 3-1 streak to lead 3-2. Lisowski countered with a 2-1 run, leveling the score at 4-4 after eight frames. The contest turned into a tug-of-war, with both players trading frames alternately. At 7-7, Lisowski scored a 60 break to take an 8-7 lead and reach the match point. However, Trump fought back with an 81-0 clearance to tie it 8-8. The deciding frame was dramatic, with chances for both sides. Trump missed a simple red shot, gifting Lisowski an opportunity, who then confidently sealed the match 9-8 to claim the title!

It truly was a tough journey. Congratulations to Lisowski for capturing his first career ranking title and ending his long streak of runner-up finishes. This championship carries great value, having defeated top players like Selby, Kyren Wilson, and Trump. He also earned a £100,000 winner’s prize. This victory will surely boost Lisowski’s confidence, and we believe he will win more titles in the future. Let’s look forward to it!
