Scottish Open: John Higgins stuns Judd Trump to reach final
- From the section Snooker
Scot John Higgins staged a remarkable comeback against Judd Trump to reach the final of the Scottish Open.
The 41-year-old four-time world champion from Wishaw came from 5-1 down to beat the Englishman 6-5.
Trump, 27, made three century breaks and a 99 to open a commanding lead in Glasgow before Higgins rolled off five consecutive frames to win.
Higgins will play Hong Kong's Marco Fu in Sunday's final at the Emirates Arena.
"I wasn't getting a look in with the way Judd was playing," Higgins told BBC Scotland.
"So, to come back and win, I'm still in a daze. I was shaking like a leaf at the end there and I was worried I wasn't going to do it.
"I didn't want to throw the towel in at 5-1 because my family is here, so I was determined to make Judd try and win it.
"To come back and win in front of them is an incredible feeling. They were crying at the end and I was crying too."
