Snooker: Wuxi Classic joy for Selby

Mark Selby beat Ali Carter 9-7 in the final of the Wuxi Classic in China.

The first session of the contest finished 4-4 before Carter won the first frame after the break to move ahead.
Selby bounced back straight away as he won four frames on the spin to move 8-5 clear, and despite a fightback from Carter, he was able to secure a 9-7 win with a break of 100.
The duo will now team up for England in next week's PTT-EGAT World Cup and they will open with a clash against Brazil in Bangkok.
"If Ali and I play as well next week then we have a great chance to win the World Cup," Selby told worldsnooker.com.
"It's strange to think that today [Sunday] I was willing him to miss balls and next week I'll be willing him to pot everything. He's a great player and we'll be a strong team."
Selby also thinks his Wuxi Classic success will be a big boost to his confidence.
"I know this isn't a ranking event but it was still a very strong line up so to win the title is a good achievement. It can only do good for my confidence and hopefully there will be more to come this season."
