It was a 7-5 triumph for Wright. Smith was up 5-4 in sets and 2-0 in the tenth set, but Wright won nine of the next ten legs.

This led to criticism being levied at Smith as to whether he'd ever get over the line, since then Smith has done and is in the best form to seal a maiden World title.

While Wright due to off the oche issues goes in without match practice and not as the favourite to lift the title. What a difference a year makes.
