Snooker star Ali Carter used Whitney Houston as inspiration to claim his first ranking title in seven years at the German Masters.
Carter stormed to a dominant 10-3 victory over Tom Ford at the Tempodrom in Berlin on Sunday. The 43-year-old had fallen 2-0 behind to Leicester's Ford but won six straight frames in the first session before reeling off four in a row in the evening to clinch victory in one of the sport's great arenas.
The Captain made a dream return to the winners circle as he delivered in the pressure cauldron of an unlikely showpiece final with eight half-centuries and a century break.
