Hong Kong snooker star Marco Fu on Saturday scored a maximum break in the deciding frame to beat John Higgins from Scotland and book his place in Sunday's Hong Kong Masters final.

Four-time world champion Higgins started off strong with a 105 break to take the opening frame, but Fu responded with a run of 75 to get on the board.

After the Scot pulled ahead, Fu caught up and levelled the match at 4-4.

The two traded frames to set up a decider, before Fu took the match by scoring a 147 in front of his home crowd at the Hong Kong Coliseum.

Fu will face world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan in the final after the seven-time world champion beat Australia's Neil Robertson in their semi-final later on Saturday.

O’Sullivan was 4-1 down and heading for defeat, before mounting a brilliant comeback. He took five frames in a row to win 6-4.
