Shaun Murphy, the reigning Masters champion, made a remarkable progress in the World Snooker Championship. With a 10-4 victory over Crucible debutant Daniel Wells, Murphy, who is 42 years old, is striving for his second world title 20 years after his first success. The Sheffield crowd witnessed a high-quality match with breaks of at least 50 in every frame and six centuries. Murphy, who won the Masters in January, aims to be the first player since Trump in 2018-19 to win both tournaments in the same season. After the first session on Tuesday, Murphy held a 7-2 lead and eventually clinched the victory with a break of 71 in the final frame. Meanwhile, Trump leads China's Zhou Yuelong 6-3 in their first-round tie.
