Yan Bingtao
Yan Bingtao produced a brilliant fightback to edge out defending champion Stuart Bingham 6-5 and take his place in the Masters final, where he will face two-time winner John Higgins.
The 20-year-old Chinese player, who had seen off Neil Robertson and Stephen Maguire in previous rounds, produced another composed display to recover from 4-2 behind and move to within one more victory of a maiden major title.
After Yan had levelled Saturday s afternoon match at 1-1 with a clearance of 94, Bingham produced two half-century breaks on his way to opening up a 4-2 lead.
The world number 11, however, started his comeback in the seventh frame with a run of 63 before a 100 break in the ninth saw him move 5-4 in front.
SCOTTISH snooker great Stephen Hendry has nothing to prove in the sport, but at 51 he’s ready to test himself at the top once again. The record seven-time world champion dominated the green baize game for more than a decade and won a staggering 36 ranking titles during his illustrious 27-year career. But in August last year the Scot shocked the snooker world when he announced his comeback after an eight-year hiatus. And now, having been practising hard to rediscover some of the old magic, the ambitious Perthshire potter is relishing the chance to play his first professional match since retiring in May 2012.
