Kyren Wilson fought back to level his World Snooker Championship semi-final against Anthony McGill at 8-8 on Thursday.
Wilson trailed 6-2
overnight in the best of 33-frame clash, but he hit two centuries to win six of
the eight frames at Sheffield’s Crucible Theatre.
McGill, in his
first world semi-final, potted just 47 balls in the session as the battle for a
place in the final headed to a decisive last session.
Wilson, who beat
defending champion Judd Trump in the quarter-finals, resumed in determined style
as he attempted to claw back the deficit.
He took the opening
frame with a break of 100, the first century of the semi-finals.
An error by McGill
handed Wilson the chance to make it 6-4 with a visit of 77.
Although McGill stopped the rot by taking the 11th frame after his opponent had missed a difficult red, another mistake by the Scot during a safety exchange saw Wilson reduce the gap once again with a 73 break.
