Mark Williams can look forward to his first appearance in the final of the Masters since 2003 after a 6-0 rout of Jack Lisowski in the first semi-final.
“It was a struggle at the end but I felt good, I felt a lot better,” Trump said. It was a bit scrappy in the end but I managed to get there.” Trump wobbled again in the sixth frame but Bingham could not take full advantage and soon fell 5-1 behind.
Trump beat Stuart Bingham despite not being at his best in the semi-finals, while Williams brushed aside Jack Lisowski 6-0, and both will head into the final at ...
On the face of things, this looks fairly clear: Mark J Williams wins handily. Judd is the best recovery potter I've ever seen and he drops in a mid-distance red but doesn't have much angle on the blue to get position on the next ball. But cutting to left corner, the ball deviates slightly - Mark was sure it was in - and the pocket refuses to accept it. Mark then opts for a containing safety, keeping the red down the business end, Judd glides to left-middle, and he should get over the line at this visit. Mark's going at everything here, and he misses a fine cut to right-middle, setting Judd away again in the process. Left tight to the bottom cushion, Mark foul-misses twice, so splatters it to left corner to avoid losing the frame ... Judd would've taken this position when Mark took the break with which he opened the match and turned it into a total clearance. So will Judd do as Mark did in the frame before the break, averting potential loss of the frame by taking on a long pot? This is terrific stuff from Judd and very bad news for Mark who, failing something surprising will soon be 4-1 down. He can't be behind at the start of the second session and has a really good chance of being in front. It's just not going for him at the moment and when he goes into the pack again, he gets on nothing easy, takes on a pressure-pot to the yellow pocket, and misses it into the near knuckle by a way. Judd plays a poor safety in response, Mark takes on a red to left-middle, misses it by miles and clips the brown, then sees it disappear into the yellow pocket.That is a majestic fluke - this game!

Judd Trump claimed his second Masters title of his career after edging a nail-biting classic with Mark Williams 10-8 at Alexandra Palace.
The 17th frame was far from plain sailing again for Trump as a promising break ended with just 59 to show for it. Could he hold his nerve in the 18th frame? The points racked up and Trump led 73-46 with five of the colours remaining, meaning Williams needed a snooker. Williams made two mini breaks, while Trump also potted two reds and a brown to leave the frame tied at 46-46 with one red left. He won four frames in a row to take a 4-1 lead, before Williams took the next two frames. However, Trump won the final frame to ensure he took a slim advantage going into Sunday night.

Judd Trump is now a double Masters champion and back where he belongs, in snooker's winners' circle.
By winning the Masters in the way he did, Judd Trump also proved his tenacity. The balance of power in snooker shifted a quarter of a century ago. Like many a shy kid, Trump took solace in the snooker table. He has the burden of being expected not just to win but to entertain. Ronnie O’Sullivan won the UK Championship, Williams captured the Masters and John Higgins became world champion. He could not have found fault with the Ally Pally set up. Last season, the wins dried up, although he did land the Champion of Champions and Turkish Masters, and reached another world final. It proved he had the toughness to stay with Williams, who possesses arguably the best temperament of any player on tour. Williams had played the best snooker of the tournament going into the final. He trailed 4-1 but went 7-6 in front before the pivotal frame of the day. Known – rightly – as a great shot-maker and entertainer, Trump’s much vaunted ‘naughty’ snooker was jettisoned in favour of the kind of well behaved tactical game more associated with Mark Selby. But Judd Trump is now a double Masters champion and back where he belongs, in snooker’s winners’ circle ten months after last lifting a trophy.
