"I have never in my 44 years playing snooker seen a frame like that," said John Parrott afterwards on BBC. "You couldn't make it up," added Steve Davis.Where do we start? So just like they'd done over the course of the last two days, Wilson and Anthony McGill slogged it out blow for blow, ball for ball and pot for pot once more, in this all-decisive frame. Wilson started well, in taking an early lead but the nerves crept up on him as he missed a routine red into the middle pocket. By that stage, it was advantage to the Scotsman but with tiredness and tension abounding, neither player looked like a winner. https://twitter.com/Eurosport_UK/status/1294317953685618689 As the clock ticked and the misses multiplied, the frame descended into a marathon with the momentum exchanging hands on numerous occasions. Eventually, numerous snookers, mistakes and two potted cueballs later, the frame would be decided by an unintentional three cushion pot that left Wilson, the man who had potted the ball, visibly shaken. "That's the honour of the sport right there," said Jimmy White on Eurosport.

To the Englishman's credit, he'd displayed admirable mettle to win the previous frame with McGill on the cusp of a fourth frame in a row. "I'm gutted it's ended the way it has," he said afterwards on Eurosport. "It was a mental match, a mental decider. It's not nice to send someone home on such a big stage on a fluke," he added. https://twitter.com/Eurosport_UK/status/1294333857160925187
