Kyren Wilson edged into the semi-finals of the Masters after fending off a Neil Robertson comeback to win 6-5.

Wilson had taken a three-frame lead, hitting two century breaks along the way, and took a 4-1 advantage before Robertson fought back, winning four straight frames and recording breaks of 110 and 107 to lead 5-4.

The contest reached a deciding frame after Wilson hit a 111 break to level at 5-5 and the Englishman was able to see out victory in the 11th and final frame.

Wu Yize booked his spot in the semi-finals earlier on Friday with a stunning 6-0 whitewash against Xiao Guodong.

Both players were competing in their first Triple Crown quarter-final event and Wu put on a dominant display, hitting a 112 in the opening frame and further breaks of 93, 60, 84 and 97.
