Summary
editThe 2019 UK Championship began with the opening round from 26 November.[12] World number eight Shaun Murphy lost to Israeli player Eden Sharav 4–6.[13] Murphy had led the match 3–1, before Sharav won five of the next six frames to win the match.[13] World number 118 James Cahill defeated world number 11 David Gilbert 6–4.[14] Gilbert commented after the match that there were "no positives" from the match, and he wanted to "smash up [his] cue".[14] Barry Hawkins compiled the highest break of the tournament, when he made a maximum break in the fourth frame of his 6–2 win over Gerard Greene.[15][16] Kyren Wilson completed a 6–0 whitewash win over Riley Parsons, whilst Mark Williams defeated Fraser Patrick 6–2, despite calling his own performance "awful".[17]
Two-time winner Mark Williams was defeated in the second round by Michael White.[18] World number nine Kyren Wilson was defeated by world number 56 Marco Fu in a deciding frame 5–6.[16][19] In the third round, world number one Judd Trump was defeated by 54-year-old Nigel Bond 3–6. Bond trailed 1–3 early in the match, but won five straight frames to win the match.[20] Trump had been attempting to hold all three Triple Crown events simultaneously, having won the Masters tournament and the World Championship earlier in the year.[20] Ranked 98th in the world, Bond also progressed to the quarter-finals after defeating Gary Wilson 6–5, having trailed 2–5.[21] Defending champion Ronnie O'Sullivan met Ding Junhui in the last 16, but failed to pot a ball in the first three frames. However, O'Sullivan made back-to-back century breaks to tie the match at 4–4, before Ding took the final two frames to win 6–4.[22]
Having last reached the quarter-finals 16 years previously, Nigel Bond met Mark Allen. Bond led 3–1, but Allen won the next three frames, before Bond tied the match twice to force a deciding frame.[23] Allen won the decider, but commented that the match table was "probably the worst I have played on as a professional".[23] Stephen Maguire, who was still recovering from a fractured foot from October, defeated Matthew Stevens 6–4.[23] Teenager Yan Bingtao defeated three-time champion John Higgins 6–3 despite not making a break over 50.[24] Ding Junhui defeated fellow Chinese player Liang Wenbo in the last quarter-final 6–2.[24] In the semi-finals, Ding defeated Yan Bingtao 6–2, with Yan only making one break over 50.[25] In the other semi-final, Maguire completed a 6–0 whitewash win over Allen in just 89 minutes.[26] Post match, Allen commented that he was "a bit shell-shocked" by the result and that Maguire "played superbly from start to finish. He went for his shots, was aggressive and looked like he wanted it. If he plays like that, he will definitely beat Ding."[27][28]
The final was played as the best of 19 frames on 8 December. Stephen Maguire had won the event previously in 2004 and had again reached the final in 2007,[29] but had not won a ranking event since the 2013 Welsh Open.[30] His opponent Ding Junhui had won the event in both 2005 and 2009, but had also not won a ranking event in the prior two years.[30] Ding won the first four frames of the match, including two century breaks, before Maguire won the next three.[29] Ding won the eighth frame to lead 5–3 at the end of the session, before winning the next two frames to lead 7–3. Maguire took frame 11 after a fluke but Ding won the next with a break of 67.[29] Frame 13 went to Maguire who made a century break after Ding missed a pot on the black ball, and Maguire made another century in frame 14.[29] However, Ding made a century break of his own in frame 15 to lead 9–6 and won the match in frame 16 with his fourth century of the final.[29][30] This was Ding's third UK Championship title, his first in ten years.[30]
