Kyren Wilson has an borderline unassailable 6-2 lead over Barry Hawkins going into the evening interval of the 2022 European Masters final in Furth.

Wilson took both the opening and final frames of the mid-session interval, giving himself breathing space as he looks to complete a hat-trick of ranking titles in Germany, following his triumphs at the 2018 Paul Hunter Classic and 2019 German Masters.

Ad He needs just three more frames to take his fifth ranking title. European Masters'Oh dear!' — Hawkins leaves final black hanging as Wilson steals crucial frame2 HOURS AGO Finding himself 55-9 down in the first frame, Hawkins had a chance to battle through as he had against Mark Williams on Saturday, but he was not as ruthless in the opening frame and after some extended safety play with three remaining reds, Wilson was able to sink a red and pull away decisively.

In the second frame Wilson looked likeliest to win but some tough safety play led a seemingly tense Wilson to glance against a brown to bring Hawkins back into contention, and he battled back to force a re-spotted black.
