World snooker number one Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump contest the final of the World Snooker Championships in Sheffield.
The 46-year-old O'Sullivan confidently beat his Scottish rival John Higgins 17:11 on Saturday evening.
The Englishman has already won the World Cup at the famous Crucible Theater six times and could catch up with record winner Stephen Hendry with another triumph.
The second semi-final went the full distance.
Trump won 17:16 against Welshman Mark Williams.
For the 32-year-old Englishman, who became world champion in 2019, it is the third appearance in a final.
Defending champion Mark Selby from England was eliminated in the round of 16.
