Robbo v Cao Yupeng, 2017 Scottish Open Final?
Yep correct

Didn't think I'd get it first try.
A certain player sets the record for most unanswered points in a match. What match was this?

Yan never had a big lead did he? Yupeng led 8-5 if I'm not mistaken.

Big final, both players hadn't won this title yet, Player A slight favourite, he had won a few titles in the past few years and looking like a major player.Player B started to really break through in the last few years, he won a big title earlier on in the year.
Player B started off well with a huge lead but player A eventually won the match and title.
Player A would have a successful career up to date, player B maybe would look back with some regrets as to what might have been.

For all his faults, I wouldn’t describe Fergal as falling apart
So, no.

Of course.
Giving Cliff a winning H2H against the young pretender and firmly cementing his status as the true GOAT

I believe the University of Limerick should really tweak their algorithm to reflect that.
This might be a tricky one, as I don't think I've seen the incident ever mentioned on here:
**Pro rips the cloth at the Crucible in the 13th frame of a quarter-final and requires the cloth to be replaced. From 8-8 going into the final session, the favourite pulls away and finishes with back-to-back centuries.

Wow I didn't know that. I don't know if the referee warned him, but nowadays he would definately receive one, because he threw the cue in the air and damaged the cloth.

This tournament was only staged once, the Final contested between two good players, one of them becoming greater in the future.
