Williams had a 5-3 lead in the match before Wilson took it to a deciding frame.

But he managed to see it out to end his seven-game losing streak against the world snooker champion.

Reflecting on the result, Williams said: "I thought he was going to come back, he made a good break at 5-4 and then, the 5-4 it was cursed.

"He got into the pack, they split lovely, and then he's gone for a long red, butchered it, and somehow left two reds.

"I thought, well, I can't say what I thought, but I just thought I'm not going to win. It's just one of those things.

"But it was a good break on the last frame and I've got him on my mantelpiece now."

Meanwhile, Wilson was left "annoyed" after crashing out of the tournament.

He explained: "I didn't feel I played that well, I was hanging on.

"Mark was the better player - I made far too many unforced errors. I felt like crap all week.

"I'm so annoyed with the way I played the red over the pocket in the decider. All credit to Mark."
