Practice didn't make perfect for Luca Brecel despite his shock win over Judd Trump at the Tour Championship on Thursday night.
The current world No 15 surged into an 8-3 lead, but then had to hold his nerve as Trump gave himself a fighting chance by taking three of the next four frames. But at 9-6, the Belgian player produced a clearance of 73 to seal a place in the final four.
Brecel, 27, racked up one century and seven half-centuries during the clash, and now the legendary John Higgins stands between him and the final in Llandudno. It will be a rematch of the Scottish Open final in December, which 'The Bullet' won 9-5 before suffering a downturn in form.
