The English Open 2021 concludes today with what is set to be a supremely tightly contested final between Neil Robertson and John Higgins – as both players aim to win the tournament for the first time.

Robertson was a beaten finalist last year, falling to Judd Trump at the last hurdle, and will be hoping to go one better this time after scraping through against surprise semi-finalist Mark King in the previous round.

Meanwhile, Higgins came from behind to beat Ronnie O'Sullivan in an extremely dramatic semi-final, just about edging the match in a tense deciding frame.

It's the first time he's made the final in this competition – which held its inaugral event in 2016 – and the final is shaping up to be a very entertaining affair between the Scot and his Australian opponent.
