WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP: LUCA BRECEL ADMITS 'I'VE NOT PRACTISED FOR THIS TOURNAMENT' AFTER STUNNING RONNIE O'SULLIVAN​

The mercurial Luca Brecel is a fan favourite because of his penchant for flamboyant shots and carefree attitude to his snooker. All of that was only emphasised further in his stunning victory over Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship as he continued his progression, despite having not even practised for the tournament. It is classic Brecel. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP 2023: ATTACKING PLAY HELPS SI JIAHUI SECURE LEAD OVER LUCA BRECEL AFTER FIRST SESSION​

The opening session of the semi-finals of the World Snooker Championship lived up to the hype as Luca Brecel and Si Jiahui delivered a potting masterclass at the Crucible. Few if any had those two in their Crucible brackets at the start of the championship,. but they showed they were worth their places in the last four with a stunning showing in Sheffield on Thursday. :​

'SO BORING' - MARK SELBY AND MARK ALLEN SHARE JOKE DURING SAFETY BATTLE IN WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP SEMI-FINAL​

Snooker can offer up thrills and spills with swashbuckling passages of play and brilliant potting. It can also offer up tense moments and testing passages of play. The third frame of the World Snooker Championship semi-final between Mark Selby and Mark Allen gave us the latter, but the tension was punctured as the players shared a light-hearted exchange. :​

RONNIE O’SULLIVAN: MARK SELBY A MASSIVE FAVOURITE FOR WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP GLORY AT THE CRUCIBLE​

With Ronnie O’Sullivan crashing out of the 2023 World Snooker Championship to Luca Brecel, Mark Selby has assumed the tag of favourite for Crucible glory in Sheffield. Seven-time champion O'Sullivan is convinced Selby will succeed him and add a fifth world crown to his trophy cabinet as he does not feel his rivals have the game to break him down over long matches. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP 2023: MARK ALLEN TAKES EARLY LEAD OVER MARK SELBY AFTER TOUGH SESSION​

Mark Selby assumed favouritism for the World Snooker Championship after Ronnie O'Sullivan was sent tumbling out at the quarter-final stage. Mark Allen has been the player of the season so far and the pair are locked in battle at the Crucible. It was hard snooker in Sheffield on Thursday evening, to suggest it will be a tense semi-final that will conclude on Saturday. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP: RONNIE O'SULLIVAN EXPLAINS MARK ALLEN EDGE - 'HE'S DOING MARK SELBY AT HIS OWN GAME'​

Many expected the nuggety Mark Selby to grind his opponents into the dust en route to securing a fifth World Snooker Championship title from the semi-finals onwards after he battled past John Higgins in a typically attritional last-eight encounter at the Crucible. But Mark Allen has so far defied the odds in giving Selby a taste of his own medicine with some calculated safety and tactical play. :​

Luca Brecel cut a frustrated figure as he abandoned hope of winning the first frame on Friday. The Belgian Bullet accidentally swiped the cue ball into orbit as he conceded the opener to Si Jiahui in their World Championship semi-final, handing the Chinese debutant a 6-3 lead in the best-of-33 encounter.

A thrilling session of snooker by Si Jiahui and Luca Brecel saw the Belgian keep his Crucible final hopes alive as he took five consecutive frames to trail 14-10. Brecel found himself 14-5 behind, a margin which has never been overhauled at the Crucible, but began to play with freedom and mounted a comeback. The pair will play to a finish at 14:30 UK time on Saturday. :​

Selby won the 10th frame from a snooker down and went on to take the next three frames to lead 7-6, with play resuming on Saturday at 10:00 UK time. :​

Mark Allen and Mark Selby were left confused when the wrong scores were put up in the arena in the 13th and final frame of the second session in their World Snooker Championship semi-final. Selby was trying to escape a tricky snooker when he fouled for a third time and the points were added to his score, rather than Allen’s, at the Crucible in Sheffield. :​

MARK ALLEN PONDERS FOR THREE-AND-A-HALF MINUTES BEFORE INCREDIBLE SAFETY AGAINST MARK SELBY IN SEMI-FINALS​

If you are going to think about a shot for more than three minutes, make sure it’s a good one. That’s exactly what Mark Allen did against Mark Selby towards the end of their opening session at the World Snooker Championship. Allen was ahead in the seventh frame by 25 points but was put in a precarious position by Selby, who had him in all kinds of trouble with no clear route back to baulk. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP 2023: LUCA BRECEL COMPLETES STUNNING COMEBACK TO SINK SI JIAHUI AND BOOK SPOT IN FINAL​

Si Jiahui had a huge advantage at one stage, leading by nine frames over Luca Brecel in their semi-final of the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible in Sheffield. Brecel could easily have thrown in the towel, but he knuckled down and fought back to level the match at 14-14. It turned into a best-of-five encounter, and Brecel held firm to close out a thrilling win. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP: RONNIE O'SULLIVAN WARNS SI JIAHUI OF 'MASSIVE SCAR' ON CAREER AFTER LUCA BRECEL COMEBACK​

Eurosport's Ronnie O'Sullivan has expressed his concern that Si Jiahui may suffer a "massive scar" on his career if he loses his spot in the World Snooker Championship final to Luca Brecel, after the Belgian won the final five frames of the third session to trail 14-10. O'Sullivan dismissed the idea of fatigue being a factor and suggested that Si's inexperience may have played a role. :​

WORLD SNOOKER CHAMPIONSHIP 2023: MARK SELBY TAKES TENSE LEAD OVER MARK ALLEN IN ERROR-STREWN AND GRITTY SEMI-FINAL​

In a dramatic penultimate session of the World Championship semi-final, Mark Selby took a one-frame advantage over Mark Allen at the Crucible despite a series of mistakes from both players. The two struggled for consistency at the table and neither could take a big lead into the final session, which will determine who will face either Luca Brecel or Si Jiahui in the Crucible final in Sheffield. :​

NARROW ADVANTAGE FOR SELBY :​

Narrow Advantage For Selby - World Snooker

Mark Selby leads Mark Allen 11-10 ahead of what seems sure to be an almighty battle in the fourth and last session of their Cazoo World Championship semi-final on Saturday night. The eight frames of the third session were shared, leaving Selby just one ahead overall. They resume at 7pm with...

A bit of a heartbreaker for Si Jiahui from 14-5 up only to lose 17-15 but it ain't over until the fat lady sings and that was some brilliant play from Luca Brecel to get the win and reach the final !

Si Jiahui exits the building with a cheque for £100,000 and shoots up the rankings to 36th in the world but what a great effort and now we know who he is and what he is capable of . A future star who has only just begun his career !
