Luca Brecel booked his place in the final of the inaugural World Masters of Snooker in Riyadh after a 4-2 win over Mark Allen.
Brecel did not trouble the golden ball but he did summon four breaks over 70 to sink Allen and book a showdown with either Ronnie O’Sullivan or Judd Trump.
It continued a welcome return to form for the Belgian, who last month at the Welsh Open reached his first ranking quarter-final since his Crucible win.
Brecel compiled a break of 125 in the fourth frame to keep Allen at bay, although the Northern Irishman contributed to a high-quality contest with breaks of 121 and 133 in the third and fifth frames respectively.
Brecel told Eurosport: “I played good, I felt good. Every week, I seem to play a little bit better.
“Wales was the first step. I now feel very good about myself. Mark is so tough to beat. Every frame he plays the same way, and it’s very difficult to play against.”
