Contrasting styles in the finale

Judd Trump will have to try to impose his style in the final or risk being dragged into a drawn-out match by Mark Allen.

The slow pace of play frustrated many opponents and forced them into submission.

So far in this tournament, Trump has taken a few frames to warm up and come from behind.

Mark Allen could be a tough client to eliminate if you give him a lead like that.
