Star-studded lineup in CBSA Tour event semi-finals

Four professional players from the main tour will contest the semi-finals of the CBSA Tour tournament in Huangguoshu on Saturday.

Judd Trump will face Kyren Wilson while John Higgins will take on Yuan Sijun in the last four of the event in Guizhou province.

In a busy fourth day of the competition, Trump overcame Chinese duo Zhang Anda and Cao Yupeng with a brace of 4-1 scorelines.

Wilson, who Trump memorably lost to in the final of the Shanghai Masters eight years ago, recorded a couple of contrasting victories.

The Kettering cueist first pipped amateur Huang Jiahao in a decider before a more comprehensive whitewash of Mark Allen in the last eight.

Higgins, meanwhile, ousted fellow Class of ’92 member and recent Championship League runner-up Mark Williams after beating Hong Kong’s Chang Yu Kiu.

The sole remaining competitor from China is Yuan, who continued his strong progress in the tournament with victories over countrymen Tu Xuan and Zhao Hanyang.

Both the semi-finals and final will take place on Saturday, with the winner set to earn 200,000 CNY (around £22,000).

The CBSA Tour event featured a 64-strong field including China’s highest ranked amateurs, some qualified players, and a group of marquee invites from the World Snooker Tour.

The semi-finals will again be contested over seven frames while the final will be best of nine.
