Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Kyren Wilson 6-3 in the snooker 900 Global Championship semi-final in Reading and moved into the final. The seven-time world champion will face Luca Brecel after Brecel beat Joe Perry by the same score in the other semi-final.

O'Sullivan's 121 Start

O'Sullivan opened with a break of 121 and went 2-0 in front before Wilson dragged the match back to 4-3. That gave the 2024 world champion a route back into a format that uses a 15-minute limit for each frame, a 20-second shot clock and ball in hand after a conceded foul.
