Today, John Higgins goes in search of a remarkable 34th ranking event title at the age of 51. But standing in the way of the four-time world champion is Kyren Wilson, who is bang on form at the International Championship in China. 2024 Crucible winner Wilson is bidding to win back-to-back events for the first time in his career.
The Warrior fought from 5-3 behind to beat Fan Zhengyi 10-6 in his semi-final in Nanjing and delivered bursts of 102, 84, 63, 100 and 53 to move within one match of glory in a stunning second session on Thursday.
Higgins, meanwhile, stormed into the final with a 9-2 demolition of Chinese star Chang Binyu yesterday. The Wizard of Wishaw, who lost in last year's final, would become the oldest-ever ranking event winner if he beats Wilson today, with £175,000 up for grabs too.

Higgins has the chance to continue an epic run of Snooker's Class of 92.
Higgins, along with Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Williams, have been at the top of the game, all having turned professional 34 years ago.
O'Sullivan won his first ranking title in 1993, and since then, there has not been a year when at least one of the three has not won a ranking tournament.
But that's in danger of ending this year, unless Higgins comes out on top over Kyren Wilson today.
