Martin Lukeman hugs a few friends and family as he makes his way to the stage.
He started the tournament ranked 45th in the world, with Mickey Mansell 11 places lower.
As mentioned earlier, neither of these men have made it to a major ranking semi-final before, but Lukeman may have a slight edge in terms of experience at the latter stages of big events.
The 39-year-old appeared in the 2022 World Grand Prix quarter-finals and also got to the last eight of the UK Open in March, losing to eventual champion Dimitri Van den Bergh.
