Recap

Wilson made very few errors and some big breaks to be on the front foot for most of the high-quality match.

It’s the earliest O’Sullivan has been eliminated from the Scottish Open since the event’s revival in 2016.

“I just tried to stay as calm as I could, in the moment,” Wilson said in the Eurosport studio. “I felt like I didn’t have much to lose because I’ve been in that situation quite a bit.

“With Ronnie you can break off and lose the frame. I was expecting the worst but not in a bad way.

“I thought if he pots all the balls and wins the frame it’s nothing new, if he misses, happy days and I’ll see what I can do when I get my chance. That’s all you can ask for.”
