Tour Championship snooker 2023 LIVE – Kyren Wilson takes on Ding Junhui for spot in showpiece final

Selby withstands Day charge to set up clash with Murphy in semi-finals

Mark Selby fended off a fightback from Ryan Day to book his place in the semi-finals of the Tour Championship with a 10-7 win over Ryan Day.

Selby broke the back of the match when taking a 6-2 lead in the afternoon session in Hull and won the first two frames of the evening to leave Day with a mountain to climb.

Day won three frames in a row either side of the mid-session interval and looked on course to make it four on the spin, only to foul when in the balls, and Selby stepped in to take his chance.

Day refused to wilt and won two on the spin with a fine passage of play, but Selby took the chance he was presented with in the 17th frame to close out the match and set up a meeting with Shaun Murphy.
