JUDD TRUMP THROUGH TO UK FINAL
Judd Trump managed to stay awake amid stifling tactics from Neil Robertson to reach his first williamhill.com UK Championship final.
And now there is the prospect of snooker's new superstar ending his breakthrough year on a dazzling high.
Trump shot to prominence with his heroics at the World Championship where he first eliminated 2010 winner Robertson on the opening day before pushing John Higgins all the way in the final.
Again Trump had Robertson's number in York as he booked a place in Sunday's title match.
Trump has already pocketed £250,000 in a terrific 12 months, and he remained mentally alert as Robertson went on a desperate survival mission.
From 7-5 behind Robertson clawed himself back to level terms, before Trump pulled away to win 9-7.
Trump said: "I think Neil tried to slow it down and make things awkward for me. The game went really slow and nothing happened for about 20 minutes and I was just sitting there falling asleep. He came back to seven-all and I thought he could win from there. - http://www.sportinglife.com
