LONDON, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- China's Liang Wenbo will make his debut at the snooker Masters next month after the Chinese number two defeated David Grace 6-4 to reach the final of the UK Championship in York on Saturday.?
His victory means that regardless of the outcome Sunday, Liang is guaranteed to climb to a new career-high ranking of at least 15th when the rankings are revised next week, edging Welshman Michael White out of the top 16.
Liang will join fellow Chinese Ding Junhui in the Masters to be held in London's Alexandra Palace.
