Snooker's big beasts have come out to play and it's a magnificent sight.
The Saudi Arabia Masters final went all the way to a deciding frame again, with Neil Robertson edging out Ronnie O'Sullivan 10-9.
The event may remain a controversial one, but the absolute brilliance of the top stars is never in doubt and these two treated us to a thrilling contest.
O'Sullivan looked almost down and out when he trailed 7-2, but he produced a glorious burst of his trademark excellence to fight back. And right at the end, it was Robertson who had to dig the deepest as he made breaks of 101 and 87 to win the last two frames for victory.
It feels hard to believe now that it was only 16 months ago that Robertson failed to qualify for the World Championship at the Crucible.
The Australian didn't mope around that spring, far from it. He vowed on social media: "I'll be back much stronger next season, I can guarantee that."
Boy, was he true to his word. He captured the English Open and World Grand Prix titles last season. And now this third tournament success in less than a year has seen him shoot back up to number three in the world rankings.
It's obviously good news for Robertson, and frankly it's great for the sport too. This generational talent has been winning big for two decades, but at the age of 43 he still has so much more to give.
