Amazing! Snooker UK Championship Report: Higgins defeats Maguire 9-2 to reach the final, set to face Wu Yize tomorrow for the title.

On November 8th Beijing time, the second semi-final of the Snooker UK Championship concluded. The 50-year-old Higgins was in outstanding form, dominating Maguire with a 9-2 victory to smoothly advance to the final. Truly impressive and consistent, Higgins showcased his signature skill of precise cue ball control, earning applause throughout. Next, he will compete against Chinese player Wu Yize for the championship, with the match scheduled for tomorrow!

Higgins is a Grand Slam champion with 33 ranking titles under his belt, and he remains sharp and competitive at the top of the world rankings. In this tournament, Higgins has steadily advanced to the semifinals. Facing Maguire, who has won 7 ranking events but lacks Higgins’ strength, Higgins was fortunate to have a relatively smooth path. As long as he maintains steady play, reaching the final was never in doubt!

Once the match began, it quickly became one-sided. Higgins found his rhythm fast, launching a relentless offensive barrage that led to a 6-0 run and a commanding lead. Though Higgins’ form wavered slightly afterward, Maguire seized the chance to claw back two frames, trailing 2-6. In the second session, Higgins kept up his fiery momentum with a clean and rapid three-frame streak, ultimately crushing Maguire 9-2 and creating a devastating defeat.

There’s no denying how formidable Higgins remains at 50 years old, still dominating the snooker scene. After a 6-2 demolition of Murphy and now a 9-2 thrashing of Maguire, his powerful attack is truly intimidating. Following Mark Williams’ recent Xi’an Open victory, Higgins’ run to the UK Championship final shows that these three veterans only grow stronger with age—truly admirable!

Following Higgins’ semifinal win, the final matchup for this event is set: Higgins versus Wu Yize. The final will be played in two sessions tomorrow at 2 PM and 7:30 PM. Higgins aims for his 34th career ranking title, while Wu Yize seeks his third attempt at his first ranking championship. This clash between the experienced veteran and the rising star promises to be highly exciting!
