CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS 2021 - MARK SELBY FIGHTS BACK TO BEAT DAVID GILBERT, WILL MEET YAN BINGTAO IN GROUP FINAL

Selby was nowhere near his best and Gilbert almost capitalised before the world number two found his form and reeled off three frames in a row to claim the win. He will play Yan Bingtao, who beat Shaun Murphy 4-1, in the group final. :
