Judd Trump vs Ali carter
With five titles from seven final appearances between them, Judd Trump and Ali Carter are certainly no strangers to doing well in an edition of the German Masters.
One of the duo will be guaranteed to feature again in the title-deciding bout this year after negotiating their way through the early rounds.
Trump overcame Xiao Guodong in the last eight while two-time former winner Carter beat Stuart Bingham.
This match is an crucial one for Carter in more ways than one, as not only is he hoping to stay on course to win a seventh career ranking title, he is also attempting to break into the top 16 on the one-year list and qualify for next month’s Players Championship.
Reaching the final would see Carter move above Zhou Yuelong into 16th by a mere £250, although the Players Championship spots won’t be finalised until after the conclusion of next week’s World Grand Prix.
The 46 year-old boasts a strong head-to-head record against Trump, winning almost half of their 29 previous ties in all competitions.
