The 2020 finalist will face Stuart Bingham or Jak Jones in the Crucible showdown.
Kyren Wilson eased into his second World Snooker Championship final after completing a 17-11 win over qualifier David Gilbert at the Crucible.
Wilson punched the air and blew a kiss to his family in the stand after potting the decisive blue and will start a heavy favourite in his second final against either Stuart Bingham or Jak Jones, who complete their last four clash on Saturday evening. “When he missed a few in the third session I knew I had to hit home. Dave could cue me off the table quite easily, so I knew I had to win that mental battle.”It was a game effort by Gilbert, the 2019 semi-finalist, who had arrived at the Crucible with few expectations after a period of personal turmoil, and proceeded to win four frames in a row to dump out defending champion Luca Brecel in the opening round.
Wilson flatly denied Gilbert’s suggestion, insisting he has “no problem” with his opponent, and looked forward to a final that will be very different to his heavy 2020 defeat to Ronnie O’Sullivan, which was played out in front of an arena just one third full due to Covid regulations.
