Wilson seals tense win over Selby to reach last eight

Gary Wilson claimed a tense 10-8 victory over Mark Selby to move into the quarter-finals of the Tour Championship in Manchester.

Wilson, 38, who is making his debut at the tournament, was 5-3 up overnight and then led 7-4 and 8-6.

However, four-time world champion Selby, 40, won an edgy 15th frame before his fellow Englishman took two of the next three to seal his win.

Wilson will face China's Zhang Anda next on Wednesday (13:00 BST).

Meanwhile, in another all-English contest Ali Carter took firm control of his first-round encounter with Barry Hawkins - establishing a 7-1 advantage in the opening session.

Hawkins' afternoon began encouragingly enough with a break of 84 to take the opening frame, but Carter, aided by some loose play from his opponent, then took over.

The 44-year-old, who has already reached finals at the Wuhan Open and the Masters - where he was beaten by Ronnie O'Sullivan - this term, compiled four half-centuries and a superb 135 as he raced clear.

Carter now requires just three more frames to set up a last-eight meeting with world number one O'Sullivan in a match that is likely to be far from friendly given their history.
