Both could have easily been eliminated across the quarter and semi-finals in North London, having to come from behind in those consecutive rounds.
Higgins is aiming to complete a hat-trick of Masters titles; his second and most latest triumph came two decades ago in 2006. Wilson will be hoping it’s third time lucky in a Masters final having settled for silver in 2018 and 2025.
