Wu pips Murphy to win snooker championship final

Wu Yize, 22, defeated Shaun Murphy 18-17 in a deciding frame to be crowned World Snooker Champion at the Crucible, Sheffield. Wu clinched the title with a match-winning break of 85, becoming the second youngest champion of the modern era and the second consecutive Chinese world champion following Zhao Xintong's triumph the previous year. Murphy, who was seeking his second world title 21 years after his first, missed a crucial black off its spot in the penultimate frame that could have won him the match.
