Marco Fu shocks Mark Selby

Marco Fu

Fu took an early 2-0 lead but Selby came back to level before the interval with a 102 break in frame four.

Fu came from behind to win the sixth and seventh frames and although Selby hit back, Fu won frame eight before compiling an 85 break to win the match.

In-form Selby was a strong favourite going into the match, but Fu claimed a scrappy opening frame before doubling his advantage with a 52 break in frame two.

But the world number one came back to take the third and he compiled a classy century to level the scores.

And the two-time Masters champion looked in control of the fifth frame until he hit the black off the table on 53 while trying to force it into the bottom pocket.

Fu took advantage of the let-off and put on 64 to take the frame, and he edged frame six to go 4-2 ahead.

Selby replied with runs of 43 and 32 to get back within one but Hong Kong player Fu won the eighth frame on the black before his cool 85 capped the win.
