John Higgins and Kyren Wilson contest the International Championship final in Nanjing today over 19 frames, with a 175,000 pound top prize and two very different pieces of history on the table. Higgins, at 51, is one match from becoming the oldest ranking event winner the sport has had. Wilson, unbeaten since early October, is one match from going back to back.
