Sunday 17th of January @ 1pm and 7pm

Final of The Masters, it's experience v youth. We have 2 time winner of this event John Higgins in his first Masters final after 15 years, up against 20 year old Yan Bingtao, who survived 3 deciding frames to reach this far. Last time this happened Mark Selby won his first Masters title in 2008.

Can Yan Bingtao do the same and join his China hero Ding Junhui on the Triple Crown event winner, or will the experience of John Higgins prevail?

And the next season to not feature one of them will be 2077-78.

Think it was the 2005 UK championship final between Steve Davis and Ding Junhui, although Steve may have been 50 then so the age gap would have been 32 years.

Wait, no. Way off!


Yeah, I looked at your post to begin with and wondered if there was supposed to be a joke there that I wasn't getting. No way is Ronnie that much older than Kyren lol.

Bingtao once again up against a member of the Class of 92 in a Final. First it was the 2017 NI Open Final v MJW, now it's the 2021 Masters Final v Higgins.

He should play Ronnie next in a Final.
