I don't think anyone is getting this. Not many of us know much about pre crucible matches. Maybe reveal the answer and post another?

A sole ranking event final win for this player, who recovered from 0-4 to beat a former multiple world champion 10-8.

That's the one!
Much is made of the fact Stevens has won only 1 ranking title from 8 finals, but I notice he's won 6 out of 7 of his non-ranking finals (or 7 out of 8 if you include Pot Black).

In one of his non-ranking event titles, the Scottish Masters, he beat Higgins, Ronnie and MJW in back to back matches.

Big final and this was the first in this tournament that featured 2 non British players. The player that was slight favourite would win the final.

A Crucible match which went to the deciding frame. The frame had to played in an unscheduled 3rd session. The frame was one of the longest in the World Championship; it began with a re-rack, but the decisive shot was a successful double on the last red, from which the winner went on to clinch the match.

Andre is correct! Wilson won the final frame which lasted 79 minutes and 31 seconds, the longest at the Crucible, but not the longest in the World Championship.
