O'Sullivan and Selby to contest Masters • World No1 beats Mark Williams 6-5• Mark Selby wins to set up repeat finalAfter a match that merited inclusion on the lengthy list of classics in the 35-year history of the Masters, Ronnie O'Sullivan defied his own expectations to beat Mark Williams 6-5 at Wembley Arena.O'Sullivan, who today meets Mark Selby in a repeat of last year's final, edged a rare contest that combined both drama and high quality, yet continued to insist that he was playing poorly and relying on grit. "That's bullshit," said Williams. "The way I played, there's only Ronnie who could've beaten me."En route to equalling Stephen Hendry's record of nine Masters finals, O'Sullivan recovered from 2-0 and 5-4 down, compiled breaks of 86, 99, 60 and 67, and retained impeccable discipline.Williams, who made two centuries, had chances in a tense decider but having squandered one with a weak positional shot, later missed a long red to a baulk pocket and O'Sullivan shaded it on the brown.Selby, a Wembley specialist who won the 2008 Masters, pulled away from 3-3 with a trio of dominant frames to beat Stephen Maguire 6-3.If O'Sullivan collects the £150,000 first prize he will join Cliff Thorburn, Hendry and the late Paul Hunter as only the fourth player to successfully defend the Masters title.Ronnie O'SullivanSnookerguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
