Trump beats Higgins to set up Wilson final

John Higgins and Judd Trump defeated world champion Kyren Wilson to reach the Players Championship final.

Before Scotland’s Higgins cut the deficit with a break of 107, Trump, 35, made two century breaks in the best-of-11 semi-final to take a 3-1 lead.

Before four-time world champion Higgins, 49, won two straight frames to level at 4-4, the pair exchanged frames.

However, the 2019 world champion defeated the Scot 6-4 with runs of 61 and 53, setting up a final against fellow Englishman Wilson on Sunday in Telford.

Trump has won three races this term and has won the most money so far.
