Zhou Yuelong has reached his third ranking final after seeing off Anthony McGill in the semis of the Northern Ireland Open.
The 24-year-old Chinese will face Neil Robertson or Mark Allen in the final following a 6-4 victory on Saturday afternoon.
Zhou previously met Robertson in the 2020 European Masters final, where he was thrashed 9-0.
However, he goes into the final at Waterfront Hall in fine form after some high-level snooker in his win over McGill.
The pair traded the lead as the match reached 4-4 before Zhou pulled clear with a break of 127, going on to secure his place in the final.
