LONDON, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- Six-time world champion Ronnie O'Sullivan came from 4-1 down to defeat Li Hang of China 6-4 in the semifinals at the Scottish Snooker Open on Saturday, setting up a final clash with Mark Selby.

World No. 37 Li edged world number one Judd Trump 5-4 in a thrilling quarterfinal on Friday and started well in his second ranking semifinal by leading world number two O'Sullivan 4-1.

But the Rocket managed to win the following five frames in a row, reaching the 55th ranking final in his career.

"I don't know how I've come out winning that one. I'm really shocked to be honest with you," the 45-year-old O'Sullivan told the World Snooker Tour website.

Selby reached the final in a much more smoothy way as the defending champion swept Jamie Jones 6-1.

Selby and O'Sullivan will play in Sunday's final over the best of 17 frames. O'Sullivan leads the head-to-head 16-10, but Selby believes he is close to his best form. Enditem
