With the Masters proving a real shock, we were entitled to an historic first all-Asian final between China's Ding Junhui and Hong Kong's Marco Fu. Ding made it to the final by beating Mark Williams 6-4 in the first round, comfortably beating Graeme Dott 6-2 in the quarter finals and beat Jamie Cope 6-3 in the semi-finals. Marco Fu overcame Stephen Maguire 6-4 in the first round, thrashed Peter Ebdon 6-0 in the quarter-finals and came from 4-1 down to beat dark horse Mark Allen 6-4.
It was Ding who started the match off quickly by scoring the only century break of the final in the first frame. He then took the following leg before Fu managed to pull one back. Ding began to run away with it and went 6-4 ahead before taking the next four frames to win the match, to win his first ever Masters tournament.
