so cant quite tell what both players said post-match.. anyone here watching it??
Unless I missed it, there haven't been any interviews yet. Both players got their "cups" though.
Something must have been up though... Ebdon didnt seem happy at all after the match ended.. something to do with the crowd I reckon.. and Mags looked bemused by it.. a bit of controversy in there looming...

Bad luck Maguire. You fought hard and just came up short.

Finally got back on here. I pity Lisowski, who'll be his probable opponent at the qualifiers. He thought he'd be getting crap Ebdon, but has got an Ebdon who has just gained a lot of confidence from this victory. Who knows maybe he'll pull a Judd and get to the World Final this year.
Gutted for Maguire. If that first session had been slightly closer, then maybe he could've won...
But he should try to take the positives and work on his game for Sheffield. He'll most likely have Dott and Higgins who at the Crucible will be as hard to scrape off the table as Ebdon was today.

Ebdon accumulated 7000 points this week, before this event he collected just 7485 points the entire season.

He will be absolutely devastated. He won 2 deciders but lost the most important one.

Well done Peter, but maybe you should add days t help differentiate between legends with the same number of years.

What makes Ebdon's run even more impressive is that he hasn't had an esay draw at all.
Liang Wenbo - a player he has a terrible h2h against - 5-0
Lu Haotian - wildcard round - 5-2
Matthew Stevens - who has had a good and consistent season - 5-3
John Higgins - one of the hardest players to beat in close matches - 5-4
Neil Robertson - Masters Champion and second in the provisional rankings 5-3
Ding Junhui - Welsh Open Champion in good form 6-3
Stephen Maguire - played arguably the best snooker all week up to the final 10-9
Considering his draw, his age and his form before the tournament this title has to be considered as one of snooker's all time great achievements.

That's a lot of work and I don't even have all the data I need. For example I don't know when 1993 Grand Prix took place.
But Dave Hendon wrote on his blog that
If Ebdon wins today he will set a new record for the longest gap between first and most recent world ranking titles.

Stephen Lee and Peter Ebdon win the last two remaining ranking titles before the World Championship. Who would have thought that 4 months ago?

I'm sorry and I know how you must feel right now.
But you have to see the positives - Maguire has a pretty good draw at the Crucible and I can honestly see him making the final.

Ebdon just snatches O'Sullivan's record for longest gap between first and last ranking victories by 3 months, he won the 1993 Grand Prix a month before O'Sullivan won the UK and has won in China two months after O'Sullivan won in Germany.

Just watched the highlights this evening, as I couldn't get live stream to work earlier. Turned into a much faster-paced match which you wouldn't have thought after six frames. Also, a very close match which you wouldn't have thought either at 5-1.
Well done Peter. Big achievement, really.

Well done Ebdon, a winner nobody predicted, huge shock but he has a good record in oversees events.
A dragged out match, and of course boring at times when Ebdon is involved, good fightback by Mags but just not enough.
Ebdon will probably now lose in the World Championship qualifiers after all of this.

There will be an outpouring of mourning if that happens....
Seriously, you've got to respect Peter. Still winning rankers at his age.

his style of snooker its always possible that's why journeymen has a level of success in snooker in to their late 30s and 40s of course peter no journeyman but he plays that sort of game.
basically its bored in to submission tactic you cant criticise it because honestly its up to his opponents to rise above it if they dont he always has a chance.

Ebdon's been getting praise from a lot of the younger snooker players, Anthony McGill in particular on his facebook page.

It's also interesting to note that he's had praise from a few who would be saying the opposite if Selby had won when Selby at his absolutely slowest is still twice as fast as Ebdon. I doubt Selby could make a century break last 20 minutes even if he tried.
