OSullivan sets up Murphy clash

Ronnie O'Sullivan was in subdued form as he became the first player through to the semi-finals of the Royal London Watches Grand Prix in Aberdeen.

He came back from 2-1 down to beat Joe Swail 5-3 and now faces Shaun Murphy for a final place after he twice came from behind to beat Peter Ebdon 5-3.

"I was OK in that match. I'm quite happy," said O'Sullivan after his seventh consecutive victory.

"I was OK today, so I don't want to look too far ahead."

O'Sullivan began brightly but fell 2-1 behind, despite a break of 98 in the second frame.

Another high-scoring break of 80 put him level 2-2 at the interval and he then notched up runs of 76 and 137 to move closer to victory.
