Jak Jones claimed his second ranking title by defeating four-time world champion Mark Selby 10-6 in the British Open final. The pair were tied at 4-4 after the afternoon session, which included a 139 break from Selby. Jones, who beat Judd Trump in the semi-final, took control moving into a two-frame lead at 7-5. Breaks of 53 and 62 put Jones one frame from victory, and Selby missed a green on the colours to hand Jones the title.

Jones turned professional at 16 in 2010 and briefly dropped off the World Snooker Tour twice before becoming a mainstay since 2016. He reached the 2024 World Championship final but was beaten by Kyren Wilson. The Welshman said the victory was "unbelievable" for his parents, wife, and son, as he had not achieved much in the game until recently. This season, winning things feels amazing.

The victory marks a significant milestone for Jones, who won his first ranking title at the 2026 Championship League in July. His win over Selby ends the Englishman's dominance and signals Jones's arrival among the sport's elite.
