Betfred World Championship (Wed Aug 12th) Semi-Finals !!!
Friday 31st of July~Sunday 16th of August at The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
It's down to the Semi-Finals stage and the one table setup of the World Championships every player dreams of experiencing. Anthony McGill will experience it for the first time, he's won 5 matches to get here, his gruelling Last 16 match didn't seem to take too much out of him, as he duly won his Quarter-Final v Kurt Maflin. His opponent, Kyren Wilson, has played 2 matches, due to Hamilton's withdrawal, knocking out defending champion Judd Trump and thus another player falls victim to the Crucible Curse. Wilson has experience in this one table setup, having played here before in 2018, so it may help him to settle down quicker.
The other Semi-Final has an amazing 8 world titles between both players. 5 time champion here Ronnie O'Sullivan, who dispached old rival Mark Williams, knocking 5 centuries in that match, up against 3 time champion Mark Selby, who seems to be back to the form that won him those titles here. These 2 players famously met in the 2014 Final here, Selby winning that one, but also in 2010 when Selby also won. This time it's the Semi-Finals, complete contrast of styles between the two of them, but that's what makes this rivarly so great.
Sit back and enjoy 3 days of Semi-Finals to see which players get their place in the Final.
