There was more to come from Williams though, and the veteran Welshman hauled himself level.

Selby then inched six points ahead in the decider but missed a difficult last red to give Williams a final chance, and he cleared to the pink to set up a last-eight clash with Barry Hawkins or Kyren Wilson.

Williams said on Eurosport: ‘I thought it was a good match. Both of us played quite well. I never gave in. I’m over the moon.

‘I’m playing a hell of a lot better than I have done for many years. If I can keep playing like that then someone’s going to have to play well (to beat me).’

Reigning world champion Selby was also eliminated early in the UK Championship last month, losing to Scott Donaldson in the second round.
