Should be a decent final tomorrow, Higgins failing to live up to his former self

Judd 3-1 down could have been 3-1 up. Very worrying already.

Allen leading 7-2. Frame 3 and 4 proved to be massive moments in the game. Allen grew stronger and played very well. Judd really struggled. Miracles now!

Not seen any of it either, Trump struggling in a final when up against someone who is not a loser in Wetherby’s mind 😂
Allen played very well last night, tough nut to crack.

75 break from Allen and he wins 10-3 disappointing performance from Judd. Frame 3 and 4 were massive. Allen played very well though and deserved the win.
Hope Judd responds from this. Last time he lost to Allen his season went completely downhill.
