- Belgian beats Kyren Wilson 6-4 and meets Zhao Xintong in final
- Brecel was stuck in toilet before fourth-round win on Thursday
Luca Brecel booked his place in the final of the UK Championship before revealing he had almost missed his fourth-round clash with Anthony Hamilton due to being stuck in the toilet of his rented flat.
The Belgian swept in four centuries plus two more breaks over 80 to sink Kyren Wilson 6-4 and will now face Chinese rising star Zhao Xintong, who bludgeoned former world finalist Barry Hawkins 6-1, in the final. If Brecel overcomes Zhao the 26-year-old will become the first player from continental Europe to land a ‘triple crown’ title.
