Saturday evening saw Jones defeat Stuart Bingham in an at-times agonising semi-final at The Crucible, the Welshman having previously never qualified for the finals. That came after 'The Warrior' Wilson secured his second trip to the Worlds final by downing David Gilbert in convincing style. Wilson had already knocked out Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarters to earn revenge for his defeat in the 2020 decider.

TV channel: In the UK, the World Snooker Championship is being broadcast live on the BBC and also via Eurosport.
The BBC will have free coverage of the different daily sessions across BBC One, BBC Two and BBC Four, while the afternoon and evening sessions will also be shown live on Eurosport 1.
Live stream: Fans can also tune in for free online via the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website, while subscribers can also follow along via the Discovery+ app and website.
The total prize pot this year is worth more than £2.3million, with the winner set to pocket £500,000 of that overall fund.
The runner-up will take home £200,000, while the players beaten in the semi-finals will still claim £100,000.
Quarter-finalists get £50,000, while those knocked out in the second round receive £30,000. First-round losers still take home £20,000, while there is a £15,000 reward for the highest break.
An extra bonus will see any player who manages to make two maximum 147 breaks across two of this season's Triple Crown events - the World Championship, Masters and UK Championship - get a cool £147,000.
It's best-of-19 frames in the first round at The Crucible, increased to best-of-25 in the second round and quarter-finals.
That goes up to best-of-33 in the semi-finals, while the final is a best-of-35 frame affair.
First-round matches are generally contested over two sessions, with three sessions thereafter apart from the semi-finals and final, which are typically spread over four separate sessions.
Though there remains plenty of debate about the future location of the World Snooker Championship, for now it remains at its legendary home at the 980-capacity Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, which has hosted the event since 1977.
