Wilson, the most recent victor in the Home Nations series, defended his Scottish Open title in Edinburgh last December. The 38-year-old is now on the verge of securing his third career ranking title following a 6-4 triumph over John Higgins in Saturday's second semi-final clash. Despite a late surge from his esteemed opponent, Wilson had already made a significant impact early on. The Newcastle potter showcased brilliant scoring from the start, rebounding from a missed maximum attempt in the first frame to compile an outstanding 147 break in the next, leading to a 4-0 interval advantage. Although there were a few hiccups in the latter half of the match, a well-timed break of 73 at the end secured his spot in the Welsh Open final.

Martin O’Donnell emerged victorious in a hard-fought battle against Elliot Slessor that extended to all 11 frames. Despite his relative lack of experience at this stage of a tournament, the 37-year-old showcased his prowess by constructing a magnificent 126-century break in the deciding frame, securing his first-ever berth in a final. Following a tense safety battle, Martin O'Donnell seized the opportunity to make the game's first century break, winning 6-5 and reaching his inaugural ranking final.

Initially building a 5-3 lead against his fellow Englishman, Martin O’Donnell faced a resilient Elliot Slessor, who managed to level the score with breaks of 95 and 65. Just a year ago, Martin O’Donnell didn't even hold a tour card and was striving to regain professional status, competing near the top of the Q Tour. Now, the Londoner is assured of a return to the top 64 in the world rankings and aims to secure his first-ever ranking title. If Martin O’Donnell claims the Ray Reardon Trophy and the £80,000 champion’s cheque on Sunday, he will also earn a spot in the next week’s Players Championship through the one-year rankings list.

Martin O'Donnell has had an impressive tournament and is undoubtedly eyeing the winning prize. However, Gary Wilson's top-level performance suggests that he is unlikely to face defeat in this match. Additionally, judging from Martin O'Donnell's recent performances, this contest may extend to a lengthy battle before determining a winner, indicating a prolonged frame. Despite this, it remains challenging to envision Martin O'Donnell narrowing the spread.
