What an amazing game!\u2019 Hawkins told <strong>Metro<\/strong>, via 247bet.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think in everybody\u2019s eyes, it\u2019s quite surprising it took him this long to finally win a tournament, because he\u2019s such a great player. He\u2019s so good to watch, so naturally talented.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"img-container shareable-item wp-caption\">\n<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t<img width=\"646\" height=\"431\" src=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/GettyImages-2267787617_36fd53.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=646\" class=\"article-image wp-image-27604557\" alt=\"World Open Snooker 2026 - Day 7\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t<\/div><figcaption>Thepchaiya Un-Nooh stunned Ronnie O\u2019Sullivan from 0-4 behind in the World Open final (Picture: Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u2018Ronnie played well as well, by the looks of it, and there\u2019s not many people who beat Ronnie when he\u2019s playing well.

It wasn\u2019t too long ago, he was nearly falling off the tour,\u2019 said Hawkins. \u2018He\u2019s gone from being virtually in the top 16 [he has a high rank of 15] and then all of a sudden, within a year or two, he was fighting to stay on the tour. It was amazing. <\/p>\n<p>\u2018I will say, that\u2019s probably one thing about him, we\u2019re all inconsistent, but he takes it to the extreme. He\u2019s either really, really hot, or he can miss so many easy balls sometimes from nowhere, really.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018But this is going to make him so dangerous now, with the confidence behind him.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\">\n<p>\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Talking Snooker Episode 247 - World Championship staying at Crucible until 2045: Our Verdict\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/58hwN3ywbFDdc3Kf5Lm6zT?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Hawkins has achieved far more in his career than Un-Nooh, but even he was surprised that in seven meetings as professionals, the Englishman has won the lot.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Oh, wow.

Well, you say that, look at Ronnie, he didn\u2019t give him any chances in the last few frames! If he\u2019s on, he\u2019s on. It\u2019s like a lot of players. But you know, for him to keep playing like that is nigh on impossible, really.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You\u2019ve just got to try and keep him tight a lot of the time.

So that doesn\u2019t happen very often.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018To beat someone like Shaun 10-1 is unbelievable, really. Then to follow it up with a good performance against Judd as well. Then John pipped me in the semi-final, but he played brilliant that week. The last few frames, I didn\u2019t see a ball. It was a good game, I think.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I played a good standard in most of the tournament.
