Ronnie O'Sullivan came back from 4-0 down to beat Judd Trump 10-7 in the World Grand Prix final.

 

Trump took all the frames of the first session but O'Sullivan recovered to end the afternoon's play 5-3 down.

 

The world number one fell 6-3 behind before reeling off six frames in a row with the help of Trump missing a black in frame 14 and a brown in the next.

 

O'Sullivan, who won the Masters last Sunday, lost the next frame but took the 17th to seal victory in Leicester.

Fantastic:

Reigning champ Ali Carter makes a winning start to his title defence as he edges out Michael White 5-4.

World champion Luca Brecel was knocked out of the German Masters after suffering a 5-2 first-round loss to India's Ishpreet Singh Chadha.

 

The Belgian, who has struggled since winning the world title last year, hit breaks of 84 and 77 as he went 2-1 up.

 

Chadha, who had beaten Stuart Bingham in qualifying, then reeled off four frames in a row to secure victory.

Judd Trump into his 7th final of the season (6th ranking final) as he beats Sam Craigie 6-2 in the German Masters

 

Judd will play first time finalist Si Jiahui for the trophy

Judd Trump won that one fairly comfortably by the looks of it - but well done to Jiahui for making it into the final for the first time!

Mark Allen makes a 146 in the first frame against Mark Williams. The highest break in the history of the Players Championship.

 

Gary Wilson won his third ranking title, second of the season by beating Martin O'Donnell 9-4 at the Welsh Open. Quite the remarkable week for Martin O'Donnell who wasn't even on the tour last season, who got his tour card via the Q Tour.

Well done to both of them then! O'Donnell certainly looking like he defied the odds there against the seeded players in his half.

Tour Championship semi final line up

 

Friday

 

Ronnie O’Sullivan vs Gary Wilson

 

Saturday

 

Mark Williams vs Mark Allen

World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan hit three century breaks as he reached the final of the Tour Championship with a high-quality 10-7 win over Gary Wilson.

 

O'Sullivan hit breaks of 102 and 110 to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 4-2 lead in Manchester but Wilson compiled runs of 83, 84, 82 and 96 to level at 7-7.

 

However, he barely got a look-in from there as O'Sullivan won the final three frames, helped by visits of 98 and 129.

 

The 48-year-old faces either Mark Allen or Mark Williams in Sunday's final.

And that Semi-Final between Williams and Allen is going on at the moment - currently looking very good for Williams who is 9-0 up!

Jimmy White has a walkover into the second round of qualifying for the World Championship as Martin Gould has withdrawn. White will play Liu Hongyu on April 10.
