Higgins vs Trump. Two top world players clashed, representing the legendary '75 trio and the '80s five tigers, guaranteeing sparks to fly. Trump started aggressively, taking a 3-0 lead, then steadily pushed to 5-3 and had match point. In a desperate situation, Higgins showed incredible resilience, playing cautiously and saving multiple match points. He produced a three-break sequence to complete a dramatic 6-5 comeback and knock the world number one Trump out. Higgins’ toughness is remarkable—twice coming back from 3-5 down in consecutive rounds proves his huge mental strength. He is truly unbreakable!

Wu Yize vs Kyren Wilson. Wu Yize, a rising Chinese star born after 2000, made his Masters debut and performed well, winning convincingly against Murphy and Xiao Guodong to reach the semifinals. Facing the 90s-born World Champion Kyren Wilson, who is overall stronger, Wu faced a tough challenge to cause an upset. The match started evenly at 2-2 after four frames, with Wilson taking two through defense and Wu winning two with accuracy. Wilson then raised his precision, winning two frames in a row to lead 4-2. Wu quickly responded with accurate play, winning three consecutive frames to reach match point at 5-4. In the tenth frame, Wu led by 44 points but missed a red ball, allowing Wilson to seize the opportunity and level at 5-5, pushing the match to a decider. In the final frame, Wu made another mistake, and Wilson dominated with a century break to seal the match. Wilson’s powerful fist pump celebration followed his 6-5 victory and spot in the final!

Next up, Kyren Wilson and Higgins will battle for the championship. Will Higgins complete the career Triple Crown, or will Wilson claim his first major title? Let’s wait and see!
