Andy Hicks made the 93rd official maximum break during his round 2 qualifying match against Daniel Wells. This was Hicks' first 147 break. [2] Just one day later Jack Lisowski compiled the 94th official maximum break during his round 3 qualifying match against Chen Zhe. This was Lisowski's first 147 break. [3] John Higgins made the 95th official maximum break during his last 16 match against Mark Davis. This was Higgins' seventh 147 break. [4] It also took the total number of maximum breaks for the season to seven. [5]
Judd Trump was the defending champion, [6] but he lost 5–6 against Mark Joyce in the last 32. [7] [8]
Mark Selby won his third ranking title by defeating Shaun Murphy 10–6 in the final. [9] This was the tournament's first all-English final since 1992, when Jimmy White defeated John Parrott 16–9. By reaching the final Selby also regained number one position in the rankings from Trump. [10] [11]
