Over the course of the match, Selby fired in two centuries and added four more breaks over 50 points.

Earlier, Mark dispatched Kyren Wilson with a commanding 6-1 scoreline, meaning he’s dropped only two frames in his last two matches.

Match Results: Mark Selby

Stuart Bingham Player Overview
Bingham has also reached the semi-finals with little fanfare, but his results speak volumes. First, Stuart knocked out John Higgins, then swept Vafaei in a whitewash, and in the quarter-finals, he got past Zhang Anda. Frankly, all of this has been top-class snooker.
The match against Zhang was a completely different challenge after the straightforward win over Vafaei. The Chinese player kept fighting for every frame, but Bingham stayed composed throughout and seized his opportunities at just the right moments. Earlier in the tournament, Zhang had put together some impressive breaks, but against Stuart, he simply wasn’t given that kind of freedom. The quarter-final turned into a lengthy battle, but Bingham demonstrated remarkable resilience.
Match Results: Stuart Bingham
