Lead

"The 2019 Scottish Open (known as the 19.com Scottish Open due to sponsorship) was a professional snooker tournament. It took place from 9 to 15 December 2019 at the Emirates Arena in Glasgow, Scotland." - these sentences can be merged together
"It was the eighth ranking event of the 2019–20 snooker season and the third event of the Home Nations Series." - repetition of "event"
"but lost 5–6 to Jack Lisowski in the semi-finals." - but he lost
"Selby became the first player to win two Home Nations events in a single season after a 9–6 win over Lisowski in the final," - repetition of "win"
"and was Selby's 17th ranking title" - needs to be mentioned in the prose with a reilable source verifying it
"in his quarter-final win over Thepchaiya Un-Nooh." - in which frame was the highest break made?
- All changed. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:32, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Summary

All the dashes in the first paragraph should be replaced by en dashes per MOS:DASH
"who completed victories over Eden Sharav, Chang Bingyu, Xiao Guodong and Shaun Murphy - and second seed Judd Trump, who completed 4-0 victories over Amine Amiri and Yuan Sijun before 4-1 victories over James Wattana and Graeme Dott." - repetition of "victories"
The term century break can be wikilinked only on the first mention
"The semi-finals were played on 14 December" - how about held for variety?
"The final was played between Selby and Lisowski on 15 December" - maybe change the text in bold to contested for variety?
"and led at 5–3 winning the next two frames." - a word appears to be missing from this text sample
"Lisowski won two of the next three frames before Selby won frame 12 after a prolonged safety battle." - repetition of "won"
"Selby, however, won the match in frame 15 after a break of 79." - how about adding the final score of the match?
- All done. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 17:38, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Century breaks

"The highest was a 143 made by Lisowski in his quarter-final win." - in which frame was the 143 century scored in?
