‘Certainly the worst performance of my season’published at 13:09 GMT
Murphy 2-6 Wu
For 43-year-old Shaun Murphy, who reached the semi-final of the UK Championship last month, it was a disappointing afternoon with him failing to register a single break of 50.
“I’ve been looking forward to today for a year, walking out as champion, but I enjoyed the first 10 minutes,” said Murphy. “I didn’t play well, certainly the worst performance of my season, maybe the worst in the Masters.
“I’m very disappointed. None of it was there, I felt everything I touched was not there. I’ve been working very hard, practicing hard, playing a lot of snooker so I didn’t expect to play like that and I’m as shocked as anyone.
“Wu looked calm, looked at ease and fully deserved his win. He will be a handful for anyone he plays.”
