Kyren Wilson takes on Chris Wakelin in Sunday’s Champion of Champions final as the form player on the planet bids to win his third title on the spin.

The Warrior burst into form at the Northern Ireland Open last month, lifting the Alex Higgins Trophy for the second time, and followed it up by winning the International Championship in Nanjing.

He returned from China and has kept up his form in Leicester, beating Ali Carter 4-2, world number one Zhao Xintong 6-1 and Shaun Murphy 6-4 to reach the final.

The 34-year-old has now won 15 matches on the spin, a run which he felt was ‘awesome’ before he added Murphy to his list of victims on Saturday.

Having battered Zhao 6-1 on Thursday, Wilson said: ‘That was one of the best performances I’ve produced.

‘The standard on tour is so incredibly high, so to win 14 in a row is awesome. They’ve been big tournaments, so long may that continue.’

With two centuries and two more 90+ breaks against Murphy, the 2024 world champion continued the run in style.

Wilson is not quite troubling the record books yet, with Stephen Hendry winning 36 matches on the spin in ranking events in 1990/91. More recently Judd Trump win 22 games on the bounce in 2023 as he won the English Open, Wuhan Open and Northern Ireland Open.
