Yes, that is the year.
But this poll was about who played the highest standard in a WC final, not who's overall win was more impressive.

Then I stick to my answer of Ronnie 2013. He was awesome that year.

Joe Davis bks 51, 59, 61, 104, 52, 61, 50, 56, 133, 74, 58, 63, 62, 55, 136, 84, 107, 107, 94, 61,75, 55, 59, 83, 83, 76, 87, 76, 52, 77, 53, 67, 66, 122, 58, 116, 83.
It may not stack up with current day scoring but bear in mind he was using heavy crystalate balls, playing on thick cloths so the reds were harder to split open.
I don’t think that standard was matched until Hendry came along in the 90’s.

TheRocket wrote:O'Sullivans peak match in the 2004 WC was in the semis against Hendry. The final was ok but not an all time classic performance. He definitely played better in the 2013 and the 2001 final.
I'd say Trump in the 2019 WC probably played the best. Ahead of ROS 2013 and Hendry 1993

Funnily enough, I have been preparing this for the last couple of weeks. The time machine will be up and running before next year's world championship
