World Snooker match goes to final-frame decider at the Crucible

sportsMay 2, 202650107

Wu Yize and Mark Allen took their World Championship semi-final at Sheffield's Crucible to a final-frame decider, the match finishing 17-16 after a dramatic closing frame. The decider followed a tense finale in which Mark Allen missed a pivotal shot and Wu Yize produced several attacking pots under pressure. The close, high-quality semi-final confirmed Wu's emergence as a top-tier contender and injected rare drama into this year's tournament heading into the final.

He and Murphy have been the best players in this tournament for me. Should be a really good final. #snooker

Semi final day at the Crucible. Got to see a 1hr40m frame of snooker between Allen & Yize plus Murphy & Higgins. Still the best venue in sport.

Fairplay, Mark Allen-Wu Yize is one of best #snooker matches I've seen in terms of drama and tension along with the standard as well. Think it's what the tournament's been missing so far. It's needed both elements in equal measure but they've both delivering it in spades this evening.

That was just phenomenal from Wu Yize. He’s incredible to watch. Meanwhile, Mark Allen will be getting chased in his dreams by that black ball the same way Father Ted got chased by Dougal’s peanuts #snooker

I’ve been watching #snooker for 40+ years and - aside from the black-ball final in ’85 - I’ve never seen a match like this. What a semi-final. Unbelievable miss from Mark Allen there. He won’t ever forget that. #WorldSnooker

#snooker Oh I feel terrible for Pistol. Historically he should’ve made it. He’s going to punch a wall. But Yize. What granite that took. Another absolute classic.
