Judd Trump will play fellow Englishman Shaun Murphy in the semi-finals of the inaugural Saudi Arabia Masters.
World number one Trump beat Australian Neil Robertson 6-3 in their quarter-final in Riyadh on Thursday.
But in the end Bristol-born Trump won through as the challenge from his fellow former world champion faded. Seven-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan plays Si Jiahui and England's Jimmy Robertson takes on Wales' Mark Williams in the two other quarter-finals later on Thursday.
