Luke Littler secured his spot in the World Grand Prix final with a commanding 5-1 victory over Jonny Clayton, setting up a showdown with Luke Humphries.
Littler was in top form, hitting 10 180s and maintaining an average of 97.26, capitalising on Clayton's struggles with finishing on the doubles.
This sets the stage for another clash between the world's top two players, with Littler seeking to avenge his Premier League final defeat to Humphries back in May.
Littler had previously triumphed over Gerwyn Price in a thrilling 3-2 quarter-final at the Mattioli Arena on Friday night, clinching the match with an impressive 152 checkout.
The world champion wasted no time in establishing a 2-0 lead against Clayton, boasting an average just above 102.
Clayton struggled with the double-start format but managed to score a solid 154 checkout to claim the third set, finishing off 128 on the bullseye.
The fourth set was closely contested, culminating in a last-leg decider. With Clayton poised on 32, Littler coolly dispatched a 140 checkout, featuring two treble 20s and his preferred double 10, to extend his lead to 3-1.
That seemed to completely deflate Clayton, who was unable to secure a single leg for the remainder of the match as Littler dominated proceedings to claim all six remaining legs in emphatic fashion, completing a comprehensive 5-1 triumph.
Speaking to Sky Sports afterwards, Littler said: "I'm glad to get through to the final. The 140 felt like a 170 but as soon as that double 10 landed, it killed Jonny off.
"I'm just very happy to get through to the final.
"I definitely owe him one for the Premier League but Luke's had a very good record (here). He's lost one and he's won one himself, but for myself, it's all new. Hopefully I can get the win tomorrow."
World number one Humphries had previously withstood a spirited comeback from Netherlands ace Danny Noppert to secure his place in a third successive World Grand Prix final following a 5-3 success.
Humphries - the 2023 winner who was defeated by Mike De Decker 12 months ago - appeared to be cruising towards another title opportunity after establishing a 3-0 advantage with an average exceeding 103, which included a brilliant 155 finish in the first set.
However, Noppert managed to get on the scoreboard by claiming the fourth set in a deciding leg before reducing the gap to 4-3 after Humphries had extended his lead to 4-1.
Humphries secured a crucial break in the first game of the eighth set with a superb 135 checkout before holding serve with a 110 finish to move within one leg of victory, ultimately finding double 12 to book his place in Sunday's showpiece. "I felt in the flow and then all of a sudden it disappeared," Humphries revealed on Sky Sports.
"I felt tired, it was a struggle and Danny pushed me really hard.
"I got a little frustrated in myself, but went into the break at the seventh set, I splashed some water into my face and said 'come on - it is either now or never', so I came out of it more fired up and it seemed to work."
