World Snooker Championship semi-final: Ronnie O'Sullivan V Mark Selby. Preview & Odds

Ronnie O'Sullivan reached the semi-finals of the World Snooker Championship on Tuesday with Mark Selby now lying in wait in the last four. Victory in this year's tournament would be a sixth world title in O'Sullivan's glorious career. The player showed a willingness to scrap and fight to limit the damage. He has been able to reel off frames so quickly and with such style and swagger that top-class operators like Ding and Williams were knocked off their feet and left unable to respond. Mark Selby looks to have peaked just in time for Sheffield, and in particular, the one-table set-up at the Crucible. He has only lost once in five semi-finals appearances and has gone onto win the title on three occasions, most famously when coming from 10-5 behind to beat O'Sullivan in 2014. The Rocket and The Hoover faced each other in the semi-finals for five occasions. O'Sullivan won three of them, while Selby earned two victories. Overall, this duo played 29 games and 301 frames. 18 meetings ended with a victory for O'Sullivan, while 10 for Selby. One game ended with a draw. VBET Odds:  Ronnie O'Sullivan: 1.54 Mark Selby: 2.48
