German Masters snooker 2024 final live – Judd Trump faces Si Jiahui in title showdown

A stunning pot on the penultimate red down a side rail, but he can’t land ideally on final red, and misses it across table. A big chance for Si wasted. Looks like a red-ball frame with colours all on their spots.

Delightful shot by Judd to slot black to left middle before opening up two reds, but he then misses a tricky red to right centre. DIdn’t expect that. Frame looked a done deal, but Si lives to fight another day here.

Judd is seeing the ball superbly well this week. In goes a long red, and he is up and running here with pink dropping and white opening up a few reds at same time. Lovely control of the white ball. What is he going to produce here?

Well, what a reception for both men. Over two thousand fans packed inside the Tempodrom for this day. Must be one of the greatest venues in the world of snooker. If not the best. Error by Trump from the break-off shot, and presents Si with chance to get hand on table. Bangs in a mid-range red and lands nicely on black. Eight frames to be played this afternoon. Tries to split pack via pink off black spot, but nothing doing and just the safety shot to follow.

Trump yet to taste defeat to Si, winning all four of their previous meetings since 2019 , but this is the first time they do battle in this length of match before a full house in Berlin. Is likely to be quite the contest.

What a few hours lie ahead as two-time winner Judd Trump takes on rising Chinese talent Si Jiahui for the Brandon Parker Trophy at the Tempodrom in Berlin. First man to 10 frames takes the title and £80,000 first prize. It is likely to be a fast and furious affair with both men committed to an attacking outlook. Boys on the baize at back of 1pm.
