    Gary Wilson 13-9 Ali Carter



    So the 1st man through to the World Championship Semi Finals is world ranked 32 Gary Wilson.

    Gary is a 33 year old from Wallsend, he is currently ranked 32nd(at the start of the event) but will end the event no lower than 20th.

    Gary has made 1 ranking event final losing to Mark Selby 10-2 in the 2015 China Open

    This is only his 2nd year at the World Championships, his 1 previous appearence was in 2016/2017 season when he lost in the 1st round 10-7 to Ronnie O'Sullivan

    Thanks for all your updates Paulie

    loving the snooker this year.

    hate the Eurosport commentators though, who's the really effeminate sounding bloke on there?

    Former player Dominic Dale may be the person your referring to.

    Coverage is rubbish on both channels, annoying how they cant just utilise the two channels on Eurosport. Online you have to pay a seperate fee so its obviously down to that, so cant flick between tables, i think you can on BBC but not sure if always available. BBC talk too much and miss bits by catching up or showing replays. 

    Wish someone could do it properly, its 2 weeks a year!  

    Cant remember what commentators i prefer but some are annoying AF

    Well done Gilbert, wins me some money him getting through to semis :) Higgins would be good too moneywise but still think Robertson is the man to beat.

    On the BBC red button you can get live coverage of both tables,also you can watch coverage of previous sessions.

    Gilbert is not through yet, Wilson is. He looked impressive this morning. Agree Robertson is the man to beat.

    Correct sorry my mistake, i have him / Higgins and Mags so got confused. Also dont mind K Wilson beating Gilbert as thats another decent thing for me so either way all good :)

    Current centuries:
    K Wilson - 7
    G Wilson - 7
    Robbo - 5
    Higgins-5
    Trump-5
    maguire-5
    Carter-3
    Current quarters count, quite surprising when people say Robbo has been unstoppable + Trump on form again, maybe as they have played less frames overall? Kyren Wilson kind of gets alot of slack for his position, but still to be up there for the tourney he cant be so bad.

    All a bit gimmicky, i like the idea though. Especially if people get more than one. Shouldn't be a set 20 people to hit them, should do it like 10 as that would be achievable.

    Was honestly expecting Trump v Robertson in the final, thought Robertson had been playing well.

    Surprised Robertson is out, although good for me my 2 remaining players (auction) are Gilbert and Higgins, so guaranteed finalist and you wouldn't really back against Higgins who has been there got the T-shirt. He would still be underdog vs Trump but would be a tough on to call, assuming they both get through there has been a lot of shock results this season its been very unpredictable.

    Conceivably, could have been 6-2 but Gilbert was 2-0 down so probably happy with 5-3. Also had a maximum chance. Back doubled the last red but didn't get on the black.
