Quarter final results;

Kyren Wilson 5-1 Xu Si
Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-4 Matt Selt
Judd Trump 5-2 Dave Gilbert
Daniel Wells 5-3 Barry Hawkins

Tomorrow's final will be Kyren Wilson against Judd Trump after the World champ beat Ronnie 6-4 and the former World champ beat Daniel Wells 6-1.

And should Trump win, he will once again be the World number 1.

Kyren Wilson won the Xi’an Grand Prix with a 10-8 victory over Trump in the final after Judd had taken an 8-7 lead as well.

It’s not all bad news for Judd though as he has returned to World number one following his success in getting to the final.

Up next the Saudi Arabian Masters, which starts on 30th August.

Got our first maximum of the season and it was from the man who hit the last maximum of last season - Noppon Saengkham as he beat Amir Sarkhosh in the Saudi Arabia Masters.

Still got the final round of qualifying to wrap up today before the top 16 enter the tournament tomorrow and it begins "proper".

Ronnie O’Sullivan 4-6 Si Jiahui

After a back and forth battle as well as some early fist pumping from Murphy, Judd is the first man into tomorrow's final.

A very nervy 6-5 battle.

It’s all left handers final today after Mark Williams beat Si Jiahui 6-3 yesterday to book his place in yet another ranking final.

Congratulations Judd Trump on winning the Saudi Arabia Masters

A 10-9 match that had plenty of drama but not a great deal of quality.

Williams led 9-8 going into the final two frames but Judd managed to hold his nerve and rally back to lift yet another trophy. He’s now won more ranking events than Steve Davis!

And he’s already reached three finals out of four tournaments this season. He might not have as many of the “triple crown” titles as others but there’s no denying he’s a serial winners of tournaments. And quite rightly the world number one.

Next up is the English Open which will begin in a weeks time.
