The World Snooker Xi'an Grand Prix is heating up as England's Kyren Wilson and Ronnie O'Sullivan gear up for a must-watch semifinal clash! 🎱 Wilson breezed past China's Xu Si 5-1 in Friday's quarterfinals, while O'Sullivan survived a nail-biter against Matthew Selt to keep his title hopes alive.
Xu, ranked world No. 3, fought valiantly but struggled to match Wilson's precision. 'Managing ups and downs is part of the game,' Xu said post-match, conceding Wilson's dominance. The English star sealed victory with a fiery 115 break—leaving fans in northwest China's Shaanxi Province on the edge of their seats! 👏
The real drama unfolded in O'Sullivan's match. 'The Rocket' nearly crashed after Selt erased his 4-2 lead with back-to-back century breaks. But in true O'Sullivan fashion, he clinched victory in the decider despite Selt's heroic rally. 'Matt deserved to win today,' admitted the 7-time world champ, tipping his hat to his opponent. 🏆
Saturday's semifinal promises fireworks as two of snooker's biggest stars collide. Will Wilson's momentum outshine O'Sullivan's legendary cool? Stay tuned! ⚡
