Shaun Murphy beats Gary Wilson and will face Mark Williams in Xi’an Grand Prix final

Earlier on Sunday, Williams came from 3-2 down to beat Daniel Wells 6-3 in their semi-final.

It was a scrappy match – neither player made a break over 50 in the first six frames.

The Welshman finally stamped some authority on the contest with a 129 break but was far from pleased with his overall performance.

“Honestly I don’t know how I’m in the final – I’ve been in no form at all,” Williams said.

Looking ahead to his match against Murphy, he added: “I’ve got to play a lot better than that in the final or they are going to trample all over me but I’m in the final and I will try my best.

“I don’t know how many ranking finals that is now but it’s great that somehow, I’m still doing it.”

Should Williams get the job done on Monday, he will surpass the late Ray Reardon as the oldest ranking event winner – a record that has stood since 1982.
