I'll review this (participating in the WikiCup).  ceran  thor 18:52, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking at this one . Let me know if I can help or explain anything. For disclosure, I am also participating in the Wiki Cup. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 19:09, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Prose

 * Lead
 * "It was the 45th staging of the tournament, broadcast in Europe by the BBC and Eurosport.[1]" - tense-wise, shouldn't it be "broadcasted?"
 * Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I did change this, but it was reverted by a copyeditor, so I'd assume the correct tense is broadcast. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 10:50, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "despite two century breaks from O'Sullivan, won 10–4. " - can you link century breaks or briefly explain what they are? As a lay reader, I have no idea
 * "Luca Brecel made the highest break of the tournament," - same note as above
 * I have wikilinked both of the above to the glossary Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:44, 28 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Tournament summary
 * "The Masters event is an invitational tournament, inviting the top 16 competitors from the snooker world rankings. " - invitational / inviting is redundant
 * Reworded Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Brecel led 3–1 before Allen levelled the match at 3–3 with a break of 136. " - again, not sure what a break is
 * I have wikilinked the first instance of this. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * " Brecel went ahead winning frame seven (with the tournament high break of 140)" - what's a frame?
 * I have added a small note to the summary stating that the matches were best of 11 frames, and wikilinked. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "when he missed a pot on the brown, which would have won the frame. " - pot on the brown meaning...?
 * reworded and linked Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Robertson made a 59 clearance and then went on to win the remaining four frames of the match.[7]" - "went on to" is redundant, just say "then won" or "then later won"
 * Edited. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Two-time Masters winner, and fifth seed " - don't need the comma here
 * I have a blind spot with commas. Fixed. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Ding would take advantage of a poor performance from Lisowski, saying, "You have to punish your opponent", after Lisowski's highest break of the match scored 60.[10]" - "would take" isn't in the right tense; maybe "took advantage of..."
 * ✅ Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "however O'Sullivan won the next five, scoring two centuries.[8] " - which are (again lay reader here)?
 * Century is almost exactly what you think they would be. Scoring over 100 points in one turn. As I've linked above, I won't do it every time, just for the first instance. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "However, he misjudged a safety shot" - which is?
 * linked Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "despite being able to hit a red, " - which is?
 * Erm, this might be a bit more difficult. I shall reword. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "Brecel had missed a simple red to the middle pocket.[15][16] - pocket?
 * "In frame seven, Ding potted the 15 reds and 15 blacks, fluked the yellow but then missed a difficult green to the middle pocket, " - potted? fluked? blacks? yellow? green?
 * These are all coloured balls. I'll make it more definative. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * "After the final, Trump said that he was "sick of watching other players win". " - I'd put a citation here after the direct quote
 * No problem. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:05, 28 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Coverage
 * "Worldwide, the event was covered by China Central Television and Superstars Online in China, and Sky Sports in New Zealand.[42]" - don't need the comma after "China"
 * Rest of the article looks fine.

 * Sure. None of these images are mine, but I can easily swap out the images on Commons for other ones. This one has been up for some time, so I can't see too much of an issue. However, I'm happy to change. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

Overall, the prose is well-written, but jargon-y at bits. The refs have me a teensy bit concerned for reliability, but hoping you can explain what makes a bunch of these sources reliable per WP:RS.  ceran  thor 15:07, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Sure, this doesn't seem too bad too me. Shouldn't take too long to fix. I'll comment on each individual piece. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:18, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * I've made the above changes. Let me know if anything else needs to be done. Best Wishes,  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 16:11, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Great, will take a look ASAP.  ceran  thor 16:23, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Passing now - thanks for the speedy response. Good work!  ceran  thor 14:24, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
