Arabic version: شون ميرفي يتقدم إلى نهائي بطولة العالم بفوز حاسم

Shaun Murphy powered to a 17-15 victory over John Higgins to reach his fifth World Championship final at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. This marks Murphy’s fifth appearance in the championship final, where he aims to claim his second title, 21 years after his first.

According to BBC News, Murphy started strong with impressive breaks of 132 and 127, overcoming an overnight deficit of 13-11. Despite Higgins’ efforts to regain control, including a scrappy frame win and an 88 break, Murphy’s consistent scoring ultimately led him to victory.

Murphy’s journey to the final has been marked by resilience, especially given his previous three runner-up finishes. His opponent in the final will be determined from the ongoing semi-final match between Wu Yize and Mark Allen, who are currently tied at 11-11.

Wu and Allen produced a session of spellbinding snooker and finished locked at 11-11 to perfectly set up the final session of their last-four meeting. Wu initiated the session with a stunning 142 break, while Allen responded with solid contributions to level the match. The final session of their clash is set for 19:00 BST, promising an exciting conclusion as they vie for a spot opposite Murphy in the championship match.
