Judd Trump, Mark Williams Face Off in Saudi Masters Final

The inaugural Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters final will feature world number one Judd Trump against Mark Williams, following both players' dramatic semi-final victories. Trump narrowly defeated Shaun Murphy 6-5 after a tense final frame, showcasing his resilience despite nearly losing a commanding 3-0 lead. Williams, on the other hand, secured his place in the final with a 6-3 win over Si Jiahui, who had previously eliminated Ronnie O'Sullivan. The final will be the most lucrative match in snooker outside of the World Championship, offering a £500,000 prize for the winner. Both players are legends in the sport, with only one ranking title separating them on the all-time winners' list, and Trump aims to join Steve Davis among the top four players with 28 ranking titles. The match is set to take place in Riyadh, where the tournament has been heralded as the unofficial 'fourth major' in snooker.
