Hawkins and Cope complete semi line-up

Barry Hawkins and Jamie Cope will clash in the second of this year’s China Open semi-finals tomorrow.

While Cope cruised to a 5-0 whitewash of former world champion Shaun Murphy in their quarter-final clash at the Beijing University Gymnasium, Hawkins edged through in dramatic fashion in a last-frame decider with Ken Doherty, another former world champion.
