The 2026 Global Championship – Semifinals

Here is the BBC report in the semi-finals at the 2026 Global Championship:

O’Sullivan to face Brecel in Snooker 900 final

Ronnie O’Sullivan reeled off three frames in a row to beat Kyren Wilson 6-3 and book a place in the Snooker 900 Global Championship final.

Seven-time world champion O’Sullivan, who won the World Seniors Snooker Championship last week, knocked in a break of 121 in the opening frame as he went 2-0 in front in Reading. 

Wilson, the 2024 world champion, levelled and took a 4-3 lead before O’Sullivan surged to victory.

Luca Brecel will face O’Sullivan in the final after the Belgian beat Joe Perry 6-3 in the other semi-final.

Snooker 900 events involve playing frames to a 15-minute (900 seconds) time limit, a 20-second shot clock and a ball in hand rule when a foul is conceded.

I can’t comment on the match because I saw none of it. I find it weird though that the caption on the picture supposed to illustrate this piece is about Ronnie’s defeat to John Higgins nearly three weeks ago … which is completely irrelevant in the context of the event in object.
