THE world's top-ranked player Mark Selby was knocked out of the world snooker championship after a stunning comeback by England compatriot Barry Hawkins at the Crucible in Sheffield, England on Saturday.
Selby was trying to add the world title to his UK and masters crowns but, having led the last-16 match 9-7 overnight, saw his opponent dominate the rest of the encounter to lose 10-13. Only four players -- Steve Davies, Stephen Hendry and Mark Williams - have won the three major titles in the same season. Australian Open champion and world No. 14 Hawkins will meet either Mark King or China's Ding Junhui in the last eight. King was up 5-2 while Ronnie O'Sullivan was leading Engish compatriot Ali Carter, who he beat in last year's final, 5-3.
