Williams looked to salvage some pride with a 79 break to make it 10-3 but simply could not compete with his opponent on a miserable morning as Selby swept his way to victory with a session to spare.

Welshman Williams, who had created a number of talking points with his unique breaks was at it again with an eye-catching four-cushion shot at the start of the 15th frame which then beautifully nestled against the pack.

However, Selby was unfazed by the theatrics as he saw out the match, setting up a meeting with the winner of Anthony McGill and Stuart Bingham in the final four.
