There will be a Shanghai showdown for the Masters title between this year's World Championship finalists Mark Selby and Ding Junhui.
Selby, victorious over Ding in Sheffield four months ago, this time got the better of Stuart Bingham - 6-5 in the first semi-final.
Next Ding had to scrap too for his 6-3 win against in-form Stephen Maguire, who went into the match with four century breaks already in the tournament - including a maximum.
Ding had to level twice, either side of the interval - first with a brilliant break of 63 - and then after conceding the lead again from 50-0 up in the fifth frame.
But from 3-3, the Scot was not favoured by the run of the balls - and 2013 champion Ding took advantage.
Selby led early against Bingham but then fell 5-3 adrift.
The world champion battled back against an opponent who had made a 123 break during his four-frame winning streak, levelling with breaks of 63 and 68 in the 10th frame and then prevailing in the decider to end
Bingham's hopes of regaining a title he won two years ago.
What a match we have on our hands tomorrow!
