SNOOKER star Stuart Bingham has his sights sets on a second world title.

The Basildon based 47-year-old begins his semi-final showdown against Jak Jones tonight.

And Bingham is starting to dream of repeating the success he memorably secured back in 2015.

“It would mean everything," said Bingham.

"There aren’t many people who have won it twice and it would maybe mean more second time around, because the first time it was all new, but I’ve got the chance to actually do it again now."

However, Bingham knows he is facing another tough test.

"Fair play to Jak, he's played really well," said Bingham.

"I remember playing him a couple of years ago in Gibraltar and he absolutely hammered me 4-0.

"I can't take anything for granted and I'm sure it will be a great battle there's next three days."

The other semi-final Kyren Wilson taking on David Gilbert.

And Bingham believes a four remaining players will be fancying their chances.

“Everyone will be looking at the draw thinking, ‘this is my chance to be world champion’,” said Bingham.

“I can’t take anything for granted and though I’m the only one (left) to have got my hands on that trophy, I don’t know if it’ll count for much."
