Hossein Vafaei into Welsh Open Snooker Semis


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian snooker player Hossein Vafaei booked his place in the semi-final round of the Welsh Open.

He recovered from trailing 4-1 against Zhang Anda in the Open quarter-finals to complete a memorable 5-4 victory.

The Shoot Out winner looked down and out in the race to five frames, but reeled off breaks of 68, 58, 63 and 96 to progress to the last four and a semi-final meeting with World No. 3 Judd Trump on Saturday afternoon in Newport.
