The Welshman has been playing fantastic snooker all season and he is many people's pick to claim a third world title. He will face Higgins full of confidence.The other semi final at the Crucible will feature two of snooker's rising stars. 24-year-old Ding Junhui has been billed as a potential world champion since he burst onto the scene eight years ago and his composure against Mark Selby in the quarter finals showed a previously unseen maturity from the Chinese star.
