Bio
Gary Wilson lifted his first ranking event silverware at the 2022 Scottish Open following a 9-2 victory against Joe O’Connor in Edinburgh.
Having previously reached finals at the 2015 China Open and 2021 British Open tournaments, Wilson ensured that it would be third time lucky in Scotland as he notably overcame Ronnie O’Sullivan on his way to the final, before seeing off compatriot O’Connor to claim the title.
Another standout performance came at the 2019 World Championship where competing at the Crucible Theatre for only the second time he defeated Luca Brecel, Mark Selby and Ali Carter before losing to eventual champion Judd Trump 17-11 in the last four.
Wilson is a former winner of the World Under-21 and English Amateur Championship tournaments and initially spent two years on the World Snooker Tour from 2004-2006, before regaining his professional place from the start of the 2013/14 season.
He has made four maximum breaks during the course of his career, most recently at the 2021 UK Championship.
