Wilson was the last player to capture a ranking title at the Stadthalle, when he won the Paul Hunter Classic back in 2018. However, Hawkins won a non-ranking edition of the same tournament in 2019, beating Wilson himself in the final. Both players are attempting to end a ranking title drought this evening. Wilson last lifted ranking silverware at the BetVictor Championship League back in 2020, while Hawkins’ most recent ranking win came at the 2017 World Grand Prix. 1586849
