The 41st seed toppled world number one Judd Trump in the semi-finals and came back from 4-0 down to beat arguably the sport's greatest ever player in the final.

O'Sullivan hit the sport's highest ever break of 153 on his run to a 66nd ranking final and the 50-year-old Englishman had looked back to something approaching his best as he hunted down a 42nd ranking title - and first since January 2024.

The performance earned Un-Nooh a £175,000 purse in a season when he had failed to make it past the last 16 in any other tournament, while O'Sullivan had to be content with a £75,000 prize for the highest break.
