Judd Trump had to survive a real scare before booking his place in the World Snooker Championship final, in what will be a ‘dream’ Crucible clash against Ronnie O’Sullivan.
Trump survived an epic fightback from Mark Williams to clinch victory in a deciding frame, while O’Sullivan duly completed a 17-11 win over John Higgins to become, at 46, the oldest player to reach a Crucible final since Ray Reardon in 1982.
