The first China Open since 2019 is at it's conclusion.
After seven years away, the ranking tournament returned to the World Snooker Tour schedule for the 2026/27 campaign.
It was once a fixture of the snooker calendar and that is reflected in the star-studded field that has battled on the baize at the Riverside Sports Centre in Taiyuan.
Now, it's time for the final, with everything to be decided in one high stakes match between England's Mark Selby and Thailand's Noppon Saengkham.
They beat out their semi-final opponents - Stuart Bingham and Zhou Yuelong respectively - on Saturday, but will now be hoping to go all the way and lift the trophy.
