Ali Carter defeated world number two Kyren Wilson 11-9 to claim the second-place finish at the Shanghai Masters.

After the pair were tied at 9-9, the 33-year-old, who also won the tournament ten years earlier, managed to win two straight frames in a tense finale.

Wilson won the first major competition of the new year’s season, earning a sum of 210, 000.

After Mark Allen withdrew for personal reasons, Carter, who won the event in 2010, only participated in the tournament as a late call-up.

Carter, 46, had broken the previous record by scoring 140 and 90 to make it level again, but Wilson’s 126-run runaway victory was sealed by a clearance of 57.

In Sheffield in April, the 2024 world champion’s Crucible defense defeated Lei Peifan in the first round.
