Mark Selby produced a gritty display to book his place in the final of the German Masters with a 6-4 victory over Graeme Dott.

Selby, who had roared into the semi-finals with an emphatic 5-1 win over Masters champion Ding Junhui earlier on Saturday, soon found himself on the backfoot against Dott.

The two-time Masters champion was forced to dig deep to fight back from 3-1 and was always playing catch-up until he snatched the lead for the first time at 5-4, and a break of 61 helped him seal his place in the final.

Selby will now meet Mark Williams in the final after the world No. 3 booked his place with a 6-3 win over Marco Fu.

After losing the opening frame, the Welshman raced to a 3-1 lead, but was pegged back to 3-3 by Fu, but Williams capitalised on some wasteful shots by Fu to seal his place in the final.

Earlier, Dott beat compatriot Stephen Maguire 5-2 in his quarter-final clash, while Williams and Fu sealed their place in the last four with wins over Joe Perry and Joe Swail respectively.
