Kyren Wilson Wins Inaugural Xi'an Grand Prix

Kyren Wilson triumphed over Judd Trump 10-8 to become the inaugural champion of the Xi'an Grand Prix in China, securing a £177,000 prize. The match was closely contested, with the lead exchanging hands multiple times until Wilson clinched three consecutive frames from 8-7 down. This victory marked Wilson's seventh career ranking title, moving him ahead of several players on the all-time list. Although Trump lost, he still reclaimed the world number one ranking after defeating Daniel Wells in the semi-finals. Trump's bid for a 29th ranking title, which would have placed him above Steve Davis, ultimately fell short. Wilson's win comes after defeating Ronnie O'Sullivan in the semi-finals, establishing his strong form as the reigning world champion.
