A surprise first (and, so far, only) Ranking Event Final for this gentleman, and it was on his native soil to boot. There was no fairytale ending though, as one of the top players in the world handing out a merciless drubbing.

I was thinking Ian Mcculoch vs Ronnie in 2004 Grand Prix. Then I realised Mcculoch also reached the British Open final in 2002.

Not Ian McCulloch, who managed all his snooker achievements while continuing to be the lead singer of Echo & the Bunnymen; a fine juggling act.

Zhou Yeulong lost 9-0 to Neil Robertson in the European Masters final in 2020 but that wasn't Zhou Yeulong native soil so that won't be applicable either :/

Can't believe it was that long ago. Time flies.
A player who divides opinion comes from behind in a major semi-final to beat another player who divides opinion. The forum continues to talk about it until 2074.

Best of 7 final but this was a ranking event.
2 top players involved. The winner of the match trailed the final 3-0 but turned the match around to win 4-3. The winner also made a maximum earlier in the tournament.

2013 was it? Ding cameback from 3-0 down to beat Robertson. I remember he played brilliant that week, many century breaks.

Match goes to a deciding frame, this player finally beats the other in a ranking event after so many failed attempts.
This match was notable also because that very same evening all of the other matches went to a deciding frame, and for me remains one of the best evening's of Snooker I've witnessed.

No. This player had never beaten the other in a ranking event. MJW obviosuly had before 2014.

I am not completely sure, but is it the German Masters 2015? With Shaun Murphy defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan by 5-4?

Correct! Murphy beat him after many failed attempts.
I never forget this evening, all 4 quarter-finals ended 5-4. Murphy and Ryan Day won, Selby too against Trump with Trump making a 147 for good measure, plus Maguire winning against Robertson by needing a snooker in the deciding frame! An evening to remember.

Ok, another apology for the long delay, but school issues took place. But here is the match: a former multiple time World Champion winner won for the first time against a former multiple time World Championship finalist and the tournament was in its final editions before coming back this season. If needed, I will give clues. Good Luck :)

Pure guess

Actually I have not had a detention, because I only just started school (first day of a new semester). But I have been slow in setting up questions, that is a fact.
