Australian Open 2012 - the semi-finals
 |
| The final battle is being given between Ebon .... |
Ebdon seems to be in a great form and the perfect frame of mind as after reaching the semis in a fabulous way, he continued his run defeating one-very-back-to-form Marco Fu by 6-2.
Two consecutive frames were going to enter Ebbo's pocket before Fu could make anything, a break of 108 points guaranteeing his first frame. Still, Ebdon didn't let the Hong Kong man go too far and cashed two more frames to make the scoreline 4-1 in his favour.
None of the two players was ready to give up at this point, not even Marco, so after a frame that lasted about 40 minutes, he managed to enrich his frame collection at two.
It was a good effort, but Ebdon’s runs of 53 and 82 were putting an end to this snooker affair and sending him in the final.

| ... and Barry Hawkins |
Hawkins was careful enough to highlight his dominance into this match and flew all the way to 3-1, leaving his opponent with a lot to think about as the mid-session interval was kicking off.
After the mini-break though, things changed and the match began to look like a real competition as Davis pulled back two frames to draw level at 3-3 (breaks of 98 and 93).
Hawkins put his nose back in front, this time at 4-3, but again Davis fought back and equalise the situation at four apiece.
However the Shoot-Out champion succeeded to break the pattern and took the next two frames with runs of 67 and 74 to go 6-4 up and get his well-deserved snooker rendezvous with Peter Ebdon.
