Wilson in action in the game. |
Kyren Wilson put on a fine display to defeat Ding Junhui 5-1 and reach the last four of the Bank of Beijing China Open.
It's a welcome return to form for Wilson ahead of next month's World Championship. He's broken a run of four consecutive first round defeats and has reached his first semi-final since the Northern Ireland Open in November.
Ding's focus will now turn to the Crucible as he looks to go one better than last year, where he was runner-up to Mark Selby.
Wilson played aggressively throughout the tie and he moved 3-1 ahead at the interval thanks to a run of 55 in the fourth frame.
The 25-year-old had a contender for shot of the season in the first frame after the break. He cut back a red above the blue spot into the bottom pocket from long range and went on to clear with a run of 30 to take the frame on the black. A bitter blow for the home favourite Ding, who now trailed 4-1.
The world number four's fortunes didn't improve in the next, as the Warrior ruthlessly shut the door with a break of 84 to clinch an impressive 5-1 win.
