Last year’s Crucible runner-up Kyren Wilson came from 5-2 down to score a 13-8 win over one of the pre-tournament favourites Neil Robertson, booking a place in the semi-finals.
Wilson beat Judd Trump at the same stage last year and once again got the better of one of the giants of the game to reach the one-table situation. He has appeared in at least the quarter-finals for six consecutive years and is now through to his third semi.
Wilson lost to Ronnie O’Sullivan in the final last year; the only thing he has to do to prove his Crucible pedigree is to go one step further and lift the trophy.
