Kyren Wilson's first Masters title win over John Higgins was a hard-fought battle, with both players displaying uncharacteristic errors. Higgins, the oldest player to reach the final of a triple crown event at 50, aimed for a third Masters title. However, Wilson, a two-time runner-up, emerged victorious with a 10-6 win, securing the £350,000 top prize. Despite Higgins' impressive journey, including beating the reigning world champion Zhao Xintong and the current world No 1 Judd Trump, he admitted he was below his best on Sunday. Wilson, who broke his cue at the start of the campaign and faced a mental breakdown during his last-32 defeat, displayed resilience and determination to secure his first Masters title. The win marks a significant moment for Wilson, who had previously cried like a little girl after losing in the final in 2018. Higgins, despite his defeat, praised Wilson's dominance, stating that he was 'totally dominant' and that it wasn't even a 10-6 match. The final was a dogfight from frame one, with Wilson drawing on John's experience to secure his victory. This win is a testament to Wilson's perseverance and determination, as he overcomes personal challenges to achieve his first Masters title.
