Wilson beats Trump to win Xi’an Grand Prix final
Kyren Wilson claimed a hard-fought win over fellow Englishman Judd Trump to become the inaugural winner of the Xi’an Grand Prix in China.
The reigning world champion beat the new world number one 10-8 to secure the £177,000 top prize in the second ranking event of the season.
The pair were not separated by more than a frame until Wilson took control from 8-7 down to clinch three in a row and seal victory.
The 32-year-old, who beat Ronnie O’Sullivan 6-4 in the semi-finals on Saturday, now has seven career ranking titles, moving ahead of Ken Doherty, Stuart Bingham, Stephen Maguire and Ali Carter on the all-time list.
Trump’s semi-final win over Daniel Wells ensured he would replace Mark Allen as world number one and regain top spot for the first time since 2021.
The 35-year-old was hoping to secure a 29th ranking title, which would have taken him clear of Steve Davis in fourth on the all-time list.
The 2019 world champion won the Shanghai Masters last month, although that is not currently a ranking event.
