MARK WILLIAMS is the champion of the Xi’an Grand Prix!
With his 10–3 victory over Shaun Murphy, he becomes the oldest ever ranking event winner!
What a legend he is!!
#snooker #XianGP #147sf

Shaun Murphy is almost unplayable right now, I don’t know what they’re doing with Peter Ebdon, but this is crazy stuff.
He’ll face Mark Williams in the final, who’s chasing history: to dethrone Ray Reardon and become the oldest player ever to win a ranking event.
#snooker #XianGP

The second semi-final is an all-English clash: new VSER #1 Shaun Murphy is aiming for back-to-back ranking finals, while in-form Gary Wilson, after beating Ronnie, is looking for another big scalp to reach his second final of the season.
#snooker #147sf #XianGP

The all-Welsh semi-final starts soon, so let’s take a look at the chances.
Mark Williams is the clear favorite — he won their only previous meeting(in the last 10 years) 6–0 at the 2018 UK Championship.
Can Daniel Wells stop the legend this time?
#snooker #147sf #XianGP

Pullen seemed to run out of steam after his great run, so Wells will face Williams in an all-Welsh semi-final.
O’Sullivan wasn’t at his best either, the in-form Wilson went through comfortably to face Murphy in the semis.
#snooker #XianGP

Back-to-back semi-finals in the #XianGP for Daniel Wells, or the first ever ranking semi-final for Liam Pullen?

VSER #1 and #2 can set up a meeting in the semis if both Murphy and O'Sullivan win their matches, but Ding and Wilson will try everything to ruin that.

#snooker #147sf

I think it's not an exaggeration: this is the best performance of a player I have ever seen. I can't believe it...
533 points without an answer, no missed pots before the frame ball, Murphy was simply perfect today!
#snooker #XianGP

What can I say? Just look at these insane numbers — they tell the story.
(I have a feeling the pockets are still bigger than they should be, but correct me if I’m wrong.)
#snooker #XianGP

There are some tasty matches to watch tomorrow, Murphy vs Wu and O’Sullivan vs Maguire both sound exciting.
Can Mark Davis pull one more rabbit out of his hat and reach the last 16 for the first time in four years (Shoot Out excluded)?
#snooker #XianGP

Wu Yize was marvellous today — five 70+ breaks in a best-of-9 match is a rare feat, and he did it! As I expected, he’s well over 90% in both pot success and positional success (which basically means whether you can pot the next ball or not).
#snooker #147sf #XianGP

A day of big upsets!
Trump, Allen, Zhao, and Selby all lost their matches, but it’s amazing for Milkins and Davis, who are fighting for their tour cards.
Moody beats Carter once again, but can he do it 3 times in a row? We’ll find out in two weeks at the NI Open.
#snooker #XianGP

I don’t even know who to praise, so many great performances today. Two maximums and several players with two centuries but for me Slessor stood out with four 70+ breaks. He’s clearly gained confidence lately but can he establish himself as a true title contender?
#snooker #XianGP

Maximum No. 12 of the season and No. 229 all-time!
Judd Trump does it again, his 9th career 147!
Brilliant!!
Last season’s record will fall very soon.
