For the Englishman, this World Championship final marks his second in his career. In 2020, he faced the legendary Ronnie O'Sullivan at this stage, but suffered an 8-18 defeat. However, this victory stands as his first in his career. For this achievement, he will receive £500,000 and rise to the third position in the world rankings. Jones, on the other hand, will have to settle for £200,000 in prize money.

This encounter marks the fifth meeting between the two athletes. For the new champion, it is his fourth victory, whereas the Welshman's only win came in 2020 at the Masters in Germany.
