Mark Selby has to find a brilliant escape from an unusual snooker of his own making. He progressed in the English Open with a 5-4 victory over Jackson Page. Mark Selby was once ranked third in the world, but has plummeted to fourth position. His most recent match was at the Tour Championship finals, when he lost to John Higgins, who is currently in third place. The game ended with a 10-8 score in a best-of-19 frames format. On his way to the finals, he defeated Si Jiahui in the round of eight with a score of 10-6, Neil Robertson in the quarterfinals with a score of 1-10, and Ding Junhui in the semifinals with a score of 10-2. He had an absolutely spectacular day at the baize, beginning with the best comeback in Crucible history in his semi-final match, followed by this epic battle that ended after midnight. We expected to remain out later tonight, but not like this. Allen appeared to be on the approach of disaster when Selby built a 16-10 lead, but he battled valiantly to put Selby to the brink of defeat. Allen will likely be dissatisfied with how he started against Selby in that clash because he assigned himself too much work, but Selby deserves credit for completing it successfully. Selby was able to block a wave of frames coming at him earlier today, but Si Jiahui was unable to do so. As a result, Selby is competing in his sixth World Championship final.
Mark Selby strength
Mark Selby is among the top five in the rankings, so there is no doubt about his ability. His strength is in his ability to make comebacks.
Neil Robertson`s recent form
Neil Robertson won a tough 6-4 match against John Higgins to reach the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions in Leicester. The game was close early on, with both players exchanging high breaks. Robertson made breaks of 83 and 127, while Higgins responded with runs of 91 and 81, leaving the first four frames tied. But Robertson took control with two impressive breaks of 115 and 64, leading 4-2. Although Higgins fought back with breaks of 86 and 79, Robertson sealed the win by taking the eighth frame and finishing with a solid 63, helped by an excellent long red in the 10th frame. Next, Robertson will face another four-time world champion, Mark Selby, in the semi-finals on Saturday. Earlier in the tournament, Robertson had beaten Tom Ford 4-1, and Higgins overcame Xiao Guodong 4-3. On Friday, world number one Judd Trump will take on reigning world champion Zhao Xintong in an exciting semi-final matchup.
Neil Robertson Strength
Neil Robertson will now attempt to make amends for his mistakes and subpar performance in this match against Stuart Bingham. He goes into this match hoping to overturn the poor performance he had recently against Joe O'Connor (0-3), Judd Trump (3-0) and Tom Ford (3-0).
