Kyren Wilson edged into the semi-finals of the Masters after fending off a Neil Robertson comeback to win 6-5.
Wilson had taken a three-frame lead, hitting two century breaks along the way, and took a 4-1 advantage before Robertson fought back, winning four straight frames and recording breaks of 110 and 107 to lead 5-4.
The contest reached a deciding frame after Wilson hit a 111 break to level at 5-5 and the Englishman was able to see out victory in the 11th and final frame.
Earlier in the day, Wu Yize had booked his place in the semi-finals with a brilliant display of potting to thrash an underperforming Xiao Guodong 6-0.
The 22-year-old got off to a flying start with breaks of 112, 93 and 60 as he raced into a clear 4-0 lead over his Chinese compatriot at the mid-session break. Xiao could not reproduce the form that helped him see off Mark Selby 6-2 in the first round.
Xiao had chances in the first frame but failed to put away a routine blue to the middle and split the pack for his opponent. Some dreadful misses and poor safety play did not help as he struggled to make any progress.
Wu fashioned a break of 84 as he took the fifth frame before rounding off a comprehensive victory with a run of 97.
“It is definitely a dream stage for me from since I was a little kid,” Wu told BBC Sport. “I just told myself to enjoy every moment of this match and give my best and obviously it is a great performance.”
