IRELAND’S AARON HILL has upset 2024 world champion Kyren Wilson to reach the last 32 of the Wuhan Open.
Hill toppled Wilson 5-2 at the Optics Valley Gymnasium, adding the world number two to his list of tournament-play scalps which already included Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump and Mark Selby from past events.
The 23-year-old Cork man also gained revenge of sorts on Wilson, who had defeated him 5-0 at the same stage of the same tournament last year.
Hill fired in three half centuries and a 124 en route to an impressive victory over the recent Shanghai Masters champion.
