The pair will clash for the right to face Mark Selby in the final, after the Jester whitewashed Mark King 6-0 earlier.

Williams has displayed terrific form throughout the tournament, dropping just one frame en route to this stage.

He has seen off Andrew Higginson, Robert Milkins and Matthew Stevens, making two of the top three breaks of the tournament so far (129 and 130).

He faces Australian sensation Neil Robertson, who seems to have re-captured his best form this week.

His route to the semis saw wins over Liang Wembo, Michael Holt and current world champion John Higgins, however he is yet to produce a century break.

The pair notably met in the semi-finals of the 2010 World Open, with Neil Robertson prevailing and going on to win the tournament.

Williams rampant form of late means he is favourite to reach the final, 4/6 with Bet365, with Robertson a realistic 6/5 chance.

The match begins at 12:45pm UK time and will be streamed live over the best of 13 frames.
