Ronnie O'Sullivan against Zhao Xintong Live: Score and updates from World Snooker Championship semi -finals

Ronnie O'Sullivan's mid-match change of the tip was missing spectacular when he was whitewashed by Zhao Xintong white in the second session of her semi-final by Zhao Xintong.

O'Sullivan had changed the tip and the Ferrule on his keyword overnight after he was described as “terrible” before the last four collision with Zhao on the crucible.

The seven -time champion had still emerged from the first level of session with 4: 4, but on Friday morning all eight frames were lost incredibly when Zhao missed every potted pot and the poor security to get 12: 4 in front of them.

The 28-year-old left-handed now only needs five more frames to book his place in the final against Judd Trump or Mark Williams after only adding the fourth session of his career on a shocked o's sullivan.

Not even two hours on the table this morning, and yet it feels as if the match is already out of view. We have seen mighty comebacks in the melting pot, but Ronnie O'Sullivan's game just feels so far away where it has to be – and his overnight stay for a new tip seemed to have not worked.

Ronnie O'Sullivan's high break in this session is 23 – she was simply not good enough for the rocket.

In contrast, he will be in lunch for a morning for Zhao Xintong – after winning all eight frames. He makes the table clean with a powerful advantage in the game.

This is really for Ronnie O'Sullivan. What a simple blue should be, goes in and after trying to force it, the seven -time world champion, who clearly does not connect. He had also shared the pack well …

Back to the Zhao Xintong table is an attempt to extinguish a guided tour of 28.

GAH! Desperate misfortune for Zhao Xintong when he picks a pot from the air just to go into the exit after hit the table on the way back. With the pink that is captivated on the lower pillow and tied up black from its place, you have to do work, but Ronnie O'Sullivan has a shot.

Or not! A bad flower attempt and it falls off again.

Seven straight. Ronnie O'Sullivan remains frameless this morning when Zhao Xintong claims his authority.

Good Good. Break around 32 with a rattling of the lower jaw in the left corner. A very potable red fits Zhao from.

Doesn't matter. Ronnie O'Sullivan exchanges the courtities with the edges of the same bag with a slightly hasty exertion. It just doesn't happen for him today.

O'Sullivan is surprised in the bundle, with a few available red red who do not take his imagination. He stays under them, but finds a nice pot on the left in the middle.

But you can't miss this yellow, Ronnie! Another uncharacteristic mistake again hits the low twenties, and Zhao Xintong soon closed itself in one color with a casty shot that frees a few more individuals.

Right, that is more of the rocket – a pleasant red, followed by a pleasant green. In the teenagers with a blue – he's just must convert from here.

This is relentless excellence from Zhao. Without elimination, another framework is secured in a short time after this mistrat from O'Sullivan. The tour extends to another wonderful century, only a bad brown in the upper pillow, which refuses to release it.
