Selby in dreamland after victory

Qualifier Mark Selby has admitted it is “a dream to come true” to reach his first 888.com World Championship final after staging a memorable comeback against Shaun Murphy to triumph 17-16.

Murphy looked set to reach his second final in three years after leading 16-14 but Selby played immaculate snooker in the last three frames to set up a meeting with John Higgins.
