Mark Allen vs Ryan Day Final Match Events
In the Cazoo British Open final, Ryan Day overcame a 7-6 deficit to defeat Mark Allen 10-7 to win his fourth ranking title and the largest of his career. Welshman Day claimed that this week’s victory in Milton Keynes is without a doubt his biggest snooker accomplishment. He had previously won the Riga Masters, Gibraltar Open, and Shoot Out, as well as defeated John Higgins at the Crucible.
After winning the opening frame of the evening session to take a 5-4 lead, Allen had a chance to tie the score in frame ten, but he missed the blue to the center pocket after potting just one red, giving Day the opportunity to tie the score with a break of 58. Prior to Day’s 79 tying the score at 6-6 going into halftime, Allen had restored the lead with a 53.
Day went on a run of 84 to take a 9-7 lead, giving him the first two-frame lead over either player. As both players wasted opportunities in frame 17, tension started to build. When it came down to a tactical exchange on the yellow, Day, who was ahead 49-39, played a cunning snooker and won the game by clearing to the pink on the ensuing opportunity.
