Shanghai Masters: Kyren Wilson beats Ali Carter to lift title for second time

by

World number two Kyren Wilson edged past Ali Carter 11-9 to win the Shanghai Masters for a second time.

The 33-year-old, who also triumphed in the tournament 10 years earlier, took two consecutive frames in a tense finale after the pair were tied at 9-9.

Wilson picked up £210,000 for winning the first big competition of the new season.

Carter, who won the event in 2010, only played in the tournament as a late call-up after Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen withdrew for personal reasons.

Wilson hit five centuries in the final, but had to dig in to see off his fellow Englishman.
