Too strong! 134-0, 98-0, 115-1, 10-7 "Magician" easily defeats the world's second
January 21st news, the 2025 Snooker Masters final has come to a successful conclusion. In the final, "Magician" Shaun Murphy was like a cheat, hitting four century breaks (134 points, 116 points, 125 points, 100 points) and four 50+ breaks (94 points, 65 points, 66 points, 55 points), defeating the world's second "Brother K" Kyren Wilson 10-7.
The Snooker Masters is one of the three major snooker events, an event that all players take extremely seriously. This year's Masters lacked the biggest player, "Rocket" Ronnie O'Sullivan. He chose to withdraw from the competition due to his poor form this season, especially after consecutive losses in the group stage of the championship league before the Masters.
After the defending champion "Rocket" O'Sullivan withdrew from the competition, it gave other players a good chance to compete for the title. In an interview, "Rocket" expressed his optimism about the world's first "Accuracy King" Judd Trump winning the championship.
Trump did not disappoint O'Sullivan overall, with his overall performance also very good, first sweeping Barry Hawkins 6-1, then reversing old rival Ding Junhui 6-3, easily advancing to the semifinals.
However, in the semifinals, Trump faced last year's World Championship winner "Brother K" Kyren Wilson, losing out 3-6, failing to meet O'Sullivan's expectations. While Wilson eliminated the world's first, he met "Magician" Murphy in the championship battle.
Without a doubt, O'Sullivan's withdrawal from the competition was a regrettable mistake, but despite this, the match was not lacking in highlights. In the semifinals, as the first World Championship winner after the 80s, "Magician" Murphy eliminated "Little Cannon" Mark Allen 6-3, while also performing a single rod full score of 147 points.
In the final, Murphy and Wilson staged a battle between kings. The former, facing an opponent who had already won two championships this season, pressed Wilson throughout the game from 1-0, 2-0, with the first stage score being 6-2. Returning in the second stage, despite Wilson playing very tenaciously, Murphy still took the match point at 9-7 and won the championship 10-7.
