Which snooker player won the 2010 World Championship, defeating Graeme Dott 18–13?

The story behind the answer

Neil Robertson did not win the 2010 World Snooker Championship by defeating Graeme Dott 18–13; the correct winner was John Higgins, who beat Dott 18–13.

The 2010 final took place at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre. Higgins recovered from an early deficit and secured his fourth world title. Dott, the 2006 champion, returned to the final after a difficult period in his career and produced a strong tournament run.

Neil Robertson became world champion later, in 2010’s calendar year but at the 2010 World Championship final he was not the champion; this distinction can cause confusion because Robertson won the 2010 World Open and later claimed the 2010–11 Masters.

Therefore the proposed answer and question pairing is factually wrong. A correct trivia question would ask which player beat Dott 18–13 in the 2010 final, with the answer John Higgins.
