The Embassy
World Professional Snooker Championship
The last two semi-finalists will be decided tonight as the last two quarter-final matches are completed. Hot favourite to win through this half of the draw is JIMMY 'WHIRLWIND' WHITE, beaten finalist last year and recent winner of the Irish Masters over ALEX HIGGINS , although he will probably have to overcome No 2 seed TONY KNOWLES , who is not in his best form this season. The experts say colourful Canadian
KIRK STEVENS (4) should have an easier passage through to the semi-finals as he completes his quarter-final match this evening, which could be against either
WILLIE THORNE or an off-form
RAY REARDON.
