Kyren Wilson vs. Jack Jones
The world's 13th vs. 44th, the two sides have met 5 times before, "Brother Embarrassing" has the upper hand 4-1;The last time they met, it was their only previous 1 long-game competition, 2021 Snooker British Championship K-Wilson swept 6-0 to advance;This game is the first time the two have met this season, and it is also the first four-stage long-game duel between the two sides, and it is also the first time that the two have advanced to the final this season, before Wilson's best result in the season was the semi-finals, and Jack's best result was the round of 16. Therefore, this World Championships has caused a big upset, the two five-time champions O'Sullivan and Trump have stopped in the quarterfinals, the three-time champion Allen has stopped in the second round, and the defending champion Luka and Gary, the two-time champion of the ranking tournament, are all in one round!
Karen, the "strongest post-90s" before last year's World Championships, was a five-time champion in the ranking competition. However, due to Luca becoming the first post-90s World Championship champion and changing hands, if he wins the championship this time, he will return to the strongest.

In this matchup, the first two stages of the battle to 11-6, Karen is only 7 rounds away from his first career world championship victory, there is no doubt that he is full of desire! How can Jack give up easily, as the best result of his career ranking tournament is only the top four, this station has ushered in a huge breakthrough, the instant world ranking has been among the top 16, but who doesn't want to go one step further and create a dark horse miracle with his own hands.
Sure enough, in the third stage, in the 18th game, Jack scored 64 points with a single stroke, Karen once fell behind 39-64, and did not give up lightly in the case of being overscored, intending to approach the score through snooker, just like in the previous game, "Jack also scored 64 points with a single stroke to achieve a super score, and finally Karen won by 2 points through snooker penalty points and the final black ball victory", however, this game failed to do so, Jack won the table again, 72-39 pulled back a city. In the 19th game, Jack scored 59 points in a single stroke to achieve a clean sheet victory, and if the 17th game was not reversed by the limit, Jack would have played a wave of five consecutive whips. In the 20th game, Karen took the lead in attacking and defending, scored a red and a coffee, and took the initiative to turn to defense, and in the standoff, Karen started again to stop a single stroke of 12 points, and it was another defensive competition, Jack got a chance to get on the ball but only scored 7 points!
