THE 2024 International Championship is rolling towards an unwanted conclusion – with one finalist already confrimed.
Having led 7-3 at one point, a Chirs Wakelin nearly threw it away but the Englishman managed to hold on and win a tense final frame to claim a 9-8 victory over Xiao Guodong.
He will face the winner of Xu Si against Ding Junhui, which takes place on Saturday morning.
