In their semi-final match on Saturday night, Anda defeated Mark Selby, winning 6-5. All eyes will be on the championship match to see who wins because Allen and Anda have both been serious candidates thus far.
Many had anticipated that one-year ranking leader Judd Trump would be stomping all over the action this year, but No. 9 seed Carter eliminated him from the competition.
Here is the Players Championship 2024 daily schedule and order of play, with just the championship match remaining.
After crushing the reds in his first break-off against the seven-time world champion at the Crucible eight months ago, Hossein Vafaei will take on Ronnie O’Sullivan once more in Saturday’s UK Snooker Championship semi-finals.
When Hossein Vafaei plays Ronnie O’Sullivan on Saturday in the UK Snooker Championship semi-finals in York, he has sworn that his careless Crucible break-off will never happen again.
In the last frame decider, O’Sullivan pulled off a 122-break to defeat qualifier Zhou Yuelong, while the Iranian completed a replay of the bitter encounter that shook the April World Championship by defeating Zhang Anda of China 6-4.
Speaker of the US House Johnson rejects a vote on Senate France 24’s approved aid to Ukraine.
Vafaei claims he has no regrets about his explosive start at the Crucible, where he hit balls from his first break-off and watched O’Sullivan hammer home a clinical 78. Vafaei claimed O’Sullivan had treated him disrespectfully when O’Sullivan had made a similar shot in a match at the German Masters eighteen months prior.
The two had left the stage together following the underdog’s 13-2 humiliation, despite the fact that he had also declared prior to the game that he wanted to “shut” O’Sullivan’s mouth and that the Englishman should retire because he was “not good for the game”.
“What was once was is now,” Vafaei stated on Friday. “I’d been putting that off for eighteen months. Although I realise it was a little ridiculous, I did it. There is karma in everything.
But all I want is to be kind and show my hero some respect. Life is far too brief. I love him and I hope he stays healthy.”
With six centuries in the last two rounds, Vafaei is the more experienced player going into their rematch with O’Sullivan, who nearly lost a 4-1 lead against the Chinese world No. 26 due to inattention.
Before making a crucial error and winning the final frame to pink of 122, O’Sullivan, who had prevailed in identical circumstances against Robert Milkins in the previous round, expressed his dissatisfaction.
The 47-year-old is also adamant that he has no animosity against Vafaei, whom he thought of as a friend before the incident that irritated the Iranian at the German Masters qualifying.
The quarterfinal victory marked O’Sullivan’s 100th tournament appearance since his debut as a 16-year-old in 1992. “I didn’t feel disrespected (by Vafaei’s break-off) – not at all,” O’Sullivan stated.
“I’ve performed far worse. Hossein is a fiery persona that I appreciate. He is not amused by foolishness. That is the nature of him. It’s something I appreciate in a person. He is an individual in his own right.”
