【🎱 Scottish Open Final: Wakelin’s Experience Shines as Chang Bingyu Claims Runner-Up】
On December 21 (local time), the 2025 Scottish Open concluded in Edinburgh, UK. China’s 23-year-old rising star Chang Bingyu fell 2–9 to England’s Chris Wakelin, missing out on his first career ranking-title win—but delivering a breakthrough performance.
Wakelin, known for his calm temperament and tactical precision, showed why experience matters on the biggest stage. After leveling the match at 2–2, the Englishman completely took control, firing five 50+ breaks and one century, winning seven straight frames to seal the title. The victory marked Wakelin’s second ranking title and ended a three-year title drought.🎱
Despite the loss, Chang’s run was historic. He defeated four top-16 players and reached his first ranking final, announcing himself as a new force in world snooker. As Chang said after the match: “This title—I’ll get it sooner or later.” Do you agree? 🎯🔥
