Well done Jones, though. Allen should put up more of a fight next, though.

To be fair to Murphy at least he has been in other finals after his win, come a lot closer than Robertson to a second title, only one semi since he won his if I remember right, fairly weak really for someone of his ability. Don't think he'll ever win another World Championship, personally just don't think he has it in him at the crucible.

has he only a couple of Quarter finals and a Final even that was 9 years ago since that always out 1st or 2nd Round

the fact he was commentating before his match means his head isnt in it anymore will prob get paid more for commentating than for playing

ooops missed the Runners up in 2021

was it an easy draw for him

Poor old Kyren Wilson is having a mare.
Some of the bad luck he has had this morning has just been absolutely unbelievable.

That being said John Higgins has ruthlessly punished and leads 7-0.

8-0 now

Ouch painful to hear about kyren who was my dark horse for the tournament

Anthony McGill is sio miserable, he makes Stephen maguire look like Timmy Mallet.
