Lead

O'Sullivan made the highest break of the competition of 134 in his semi-final victory over Williams. — This doesn't appear to be in the body of the article.

Background

one of the first of the season. — traditionally one of the first of the season, or it just happened to be one of the first in 2001–02?

Any player who withdrew would be replaced by a reserve — How were reserves determined?
- There are no further details MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps add in the first sentence that one spot was filled via a qualifying competition.

John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player — Suggest "John Higgins, Scotland's highest-ranked player and the world's number ##"

By the time I got to "Round 1" I still had no idea who the players were, who was favored, etc. Perhaps the players who qualified by being in the top 8 could be listed somewhere along with their ranking, and the seeds for the tournament bracket could be added?
- Added MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - John Higgins and Mark Williams are both listed as three seeds. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:42, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Prize fund

Highest break (×1): £5,000 — What does the "×1" mean?
- It means that one person could earn the prize monies available
  - Which source is used for the highest break amount? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - RTE Sport MWright96 (talk) 10:02, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Total: £200,000 — Did all 12 players win some of this?
- Yes, but am unable to find other amounts MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Round 1

ranking event winner — What's a ranking event?

Frank Callan — Who's this, just a random coach? Worth a red link?
- Clarified and no red link would be appropriate MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-finals

Williams was required to pot the pink ball from a long distance to tie the match at 2–2; it was left on the edge of a top corner pocket. — This probably belongs before the sentence about who won.
- Done MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Final

It was the first time since the 2000 Grand Prix that O'Sullivan had been defeated in a tournament final. — How many tournaments ago was that?
- Added months instead MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Any word on when Higgins's child was born?

Qualifying

Is there enough in the sources to add information about the matches that goes beyond the bracket?
- Not particularly and it's not the standard in WikiProject Snooker to add every detail about a tournament's qualifying matches, except for maximum breaks or unusual events. MWright96 (talk) 09:29, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
