Kyren Wilson on the brink of second World Snooker Championship final

Kyren Wilson is on the brink of reaching his second World Snooker Championship final after a dominant performance in the third session against David Gilbert at The Crucible. The twelfth seed, who was runner-up to Ronnie O’Sullivan in 2020, opened up a commanding 14-10 lead over Gilbert after the pair were tied at 8-8 going into the evening.

Wilson took control of the match by winning six out of the eight frames in the session, including a run of five consecutive frames as Gilbert struggled to capitalize on his chances. Despite Gilbert’s efforts, including four century breaks in the match, Wilson remains the heavy favorite to secure the victory when the match resumes on Saturday.

The momentum swung in Wilson’s favor after he nudged ahead at 9-8 with a break of 85, and he continued to build on his lead with impressive breaks of 93, 51, and 88. Gilbert had opportunities to claw his way back into the match but crucial errors cost him valuable frames.

In the other semi-final, former champion Stuart Bingham and qualifier Jak Jones are deadlocked at 8-8 heading into their next session on Saturday. The final stages of the tournament promise to be thrilling as the players battle it out for a spot in the championship match, which will take place on Sunday and Monday.

Snooker fans are in for a treat as the drama unfolds at The Crucible, with Wilson looking to secure his place in the final and potentially claim his first world title. Stay tuned for more updates as the World Snooker Championship reaches its exciting conclusion.
