It was his fourth ranking title of the season, following his wins at the 2023 English Open, the 2023 Wuhan Open, and the 2023 Northern Ireland Open. On playing Si in the final, Trump said: "It was a tough challenge, because you never know what he is going to do next. You are always on the edge of your seat. He takes on absolutely everything. It can be a little bit tricky and you are never able to really settle. I produced my best snooker when I needed to and I didn’t miss much in the second session." Si commented: "I had an incredible run to the final. After all my opponent was Judd, he is an amazing player and I have a lot to learn from him. I enjoyed this week."
