Shanghai Masters: Ali Carter comes from behind to beat Mark Selby and reach final

by

Ali Carter produced a third successive comeback victory to beat Mark Selby and reach the final of the Shanghai Masters.

The 46-year-old will meet either world champion Xhao Xintong or world number two Kyren Wilson in Sunday’s final, with the winner to receive £210,000.

Carter trailed four-time world champion Selby 8-6 midway through the evening session on Friday, but fought back to claim a 10-8 success.

The world number 17 came from 5-2 down to beat both Mark Williams and Xiao Guodong 6-5 in previous rounds.

Selby was on the verge of victory on Friday but spurned a blue in the 15th frame and Carter took full advantage, recording breaks of 83, 62 and 79 in consecutive frames.
