In 2005, Murphy rewrote the history of the world championship with a great victory. Winning the world championship also created a miracle in the history of snooker. After terry griffiths won the championship with the lowest ranking of 1979, Murphy entered the competition as a qualifier and won the most important championship in snooker. He won the championship at the age of 22, ranking second in history. Haendly 1990 won the championship at the age of 2 1. Murphy's achievements are unbelievable. The banker opened before the game 1 let him lose 125. Joe johnson had a comeback before 1986, and he was Murphy's early coach.
After winning the world championship unexpectedly in 2005, Murphy experienced a great challenge.
Although I didn't win the championship again, I entered the top 5 in the world because I entered the final of a project. Murphy also set a record in the popular invitational Pot Black Cup. When the event returned to the BBC TV screen, he scored the highest score of11,although he lost to matthew stevens in the championship. In Wales in March, he defeated Higgins, Jamie Copp, Williams and Hawkins. But he lost to Stephen Lee 9-4 in the final. Murphy said: "I played a few good games, but I didn't do very well in the final today."
Murphy finally found his form in the 2007 Malta Cup. In the decisive battle, he proved that he was not a flash in the pan. He beat ryan day 9-4 at the Hilton Convention Center in Portmarceau. In the subsequent Welsh Open, the young man shot more than 100 times in four consecutive games, becoming the first person to do this in nine five-win competitions. The young man from Northamptonshire, who lives in Rotherham, has never reached the final in any ranking competition before, even without a victory in Crucible. But its amazing talent is gradually revealed in the process of growing up. Previously, Murphy's potential has begun to gradually emerge. He reached the semi-final at the British Open in Brighton. Ian mccullough, paul hunter, Michael holt and Barry Hawkins were eliminated and lost to Higgins in the semi-final.
As one of the representatives of young snooker players in the world, Murphy won the Best Newcomer of the Year Award in 2000/200 1 season. In 2002 and 2003, Murphy was qualified to enter the Krusberg Theatre twice, and he met Dahdi in the second competition. After a bitter battle, he lost to his opponent by 9- 10.
In the 2007 World Snooker Championship, Murphy successfully defeated Lump, Palot and Stevens to face Selby in the semi-final. Murphy is the favourite to win this semi-final, especially when he leads by 5-/kloc-0. However, Selby, who never gave up, had the last laugh in this contest. In the deciding game, he scored 64 points in a single shot and finally helped himself win with 17- 16. Murphy not only missed the second snooker World Championship trophy in his career, but also missed his world ranking first. After the game, Murphy was even more disappointed than the accident: "I never thought I would lose the game." This is really a huge disappointment. "
In 2007-08, Murphy was the representative of "stability". He ranked in the top four for five times in a row, which is the unparalleled achievement of Hendry after his heyday in the mid-1990s. But to our disappointment, Murphy didn't even win a championship. The best result is the Malta Cup, but this competition is no longer a ranking competition.
Only in the Malta Cup did Murphy have the last laugh. He first reversed Ding Junhui from 0-3 to 6-5, defeated Dahdi 9-3 in the final, and won the championship here again after 2007. Unfortunately, the Malta Cup is no longer a ranking match from the beginning of this season.
At the beginning of the World Championships, Murphy ranked first in the temporary world, but his performance in the World Championships was not satisfactory. Lost to Carter in the second round, and finally ranked third after the end of the 2007-08 season, but this is his highest ranking ever.

Shaun murphy was known to snooker fans when he was only 15 years old. At that time, he was called a "prodigy" by the British media. Before the first day of the 1995 European Open, Murphy played two exhibition matches with two famous figures, John parrot and Steve Davis OBE. His lovely image is deeply imprinted in the minds of China fans (CCTV5 released the video of the game on 1996). Unlike Chinese prodigy Ding Junhui, Murphy's career is not smooth. After seven long seasons, Murphy finally won the world championship symbolizing the highest honor in 2005. In the final, he defeated the Welsh star matthew stevens who was determined to win the championship with 18- 16. Shaun murphy was obsessed with snooker since he was a child. In this world championship, he eliminated john higgins, legendary snooker superstar Steve Davis OBE and 2002 champion Peter Ebdon. But Davis himself can't remember the scene when a little fat man with messy hair chased him for his autograph. This "little fatty" is Murphy. In the final, Stevens' desire for the championship is unparalleled. The Welsh star is the famous "uncrowned king". Unfortunately, in 2005, he still failed to realize his long-cherished wish, and became the first teenager shaun murphy who won the championship in the first round in the history of the World Championships in snooker.
Murphy, ranked 48th in Sheffield in May 2005, set a series of records: at the age of 2 1 year and 4 months, he became the second youngest world champion since 1990 when Hendry won the championship; 150 1 is the highest odds since Joe Johnson 1986 defeated Davis. Murphy also became the first qualifier to reach the summit after Griffith 1979. The road to the title of king is full of hardships. Murphy has repelled three world champions (Higgins, Davis and Abbott) and made a former runner-up become a runner-up again (Stevens). After this campaign, Murphy won a prize of 250,000 pounds, and the world ranking rose from 48th to 2 1. Murphy realized his dream.
Murphy has comprehensive skills and first-class psychological quality among young players. However, he didn't go any further after winning the world championship. In the following 2006 season, he only reached the final of the Welsh Open and was defeated by Stephen Lee 4-9. Therefore, he was criticized for winning the world championship only by luck. But after the silence of the 2006 season, shaun murphy finally proved his strength and value in the 2007 season. Why did he become a world champion? The champion of the 2007 Malta Snooker Cup ended in the decisive battle between Ryan Day and the 2005 world champion shaun murphy. Murphy continued his strong performance in the semi-final, easily defeating his opponent 9-4 and winning the Malta Cup. This is his first ranking champion since he won the World Championship in 2005. Shaun murphy's stormy performance in ryan day proved that he was not a flash in the pan.
In the 2007 snooker Northern Ireland Cup, Murphy performed steadily and reached the semi-finals all the way. His opponent is Scottish star Maguire. Maguire fell behind several times in the game, and finally cleared the field in the deciding game of 100-0, reversed Murphy 6-5, reached the final and finally won the championship.
In the 2007 British Championship, Murphy was still in excellent form, especially in the 1/4 final, he resisted the counterattack of China's "prodigy" Ding Junhui and beat him 9-7 to advance to the semi-finals. His semi-final opponent eliminated his own Maguire in the Northern Ireland Cup. Originally, he wanted to change the color, but "the old enemy has not been reported, and the new enemy has been added." Maguire has made great strides all the way and is in good shape. After the draw between the two men 1: 1, Murphy, who felt bad, once fell behind Maguire by 1:7. In the end, Maguire blocked Murphy from the final again with 9:5.
In the 2007 World Championships, this is just a narrow road. Murphy and matthew stevens meet again. So Stevens worked hard to let the shame pass. Excellent performance in the first two quarters, high scores again and again, completely suppressed Murphy. After the day's game, Matthew led Murphy with an absolute advantage of 1 1:5. However, the game is not over. The score became 7: 1 1. However, Matteo used a long pass to advance the match point to 12:7 with a single shot of 69 points. The next game can be said to be full of twists and turns. Stevens made a long pass, then dropped the ball, and then the club slipped. He lost five games in a row and the game entered the deciding game. Murphy didn't give it to Steve in the deciding game. A classic game ended with such an incredible result ~!
In 2008, the Maltese Cup of Snooker came to an end, and shaun murphy defeated Irish star Dahdi 9-3, successfully defending his title and winning the third trophy in his career. Murphy became the third player to defend the Maltese Cup title after Palot and Hendry.
The game was not smooth, and high scores were hard to come by. In the 12 competition, only three times a single shot exceeded 50 points, but the tactical contest between the two former world champions made the audience feast their eyes. After Dahdi won the first game with a score of 9 1, Murphy rewrote the big score to 4- 1. Dahdi pulled back a point in the sixth game, but Murphy won three games in a row; 10, Dahdi slightly delayed Murphy's progress with 66-34. After that, Murphy completely controlled the situation and sealed the victory with 76 points in the 12 game.
Murphy said after the game: "12 months later, I am very happy to win again." I have a chance to win the World Championship, the British Championship, the Grand Prix and the Northern Ireland Cup. I am very happy to carve my name on the trophy and tie his record. I hope this is not the first time that I have tied or broken his record. "Although Dahdi failed to achieve the desired results, he was satisfied with his performance in reaching the final all the way, hoping to do better to keep his ranking in the top 16.
In 2008, the Welsh Open opened in Newport Center as scheduled. Shaun murphy is as steady and enterprising as ever. He undoubtedly entered the semi-finals, but unfortunately he still fell down before the final. This time, "Rocket" O 'Sullivan ended him. In the competition, O 'Sullivan shot three shots to break 100 and four shots to 50+, and knocked down Murphy, who had just defended the Maltese champion, with strong offensive firepower.
In the early morning of March 3rd, 2008, the China Snooker Championship finally came to an end. The final between two masters, shaun murphy and Stephen Maguire, was full of ups and downs. In the case of the tiebreaker, Maguire won the tiebreaker at 64: 40, and finally won the championship in China with 10-9, which was his second ranking champion. He not only blew the history of China.
Murphy, who lost in the final, didn't look very lost at the press conference. Murphy said: "I am very satisfied with my performance in the past week. It's good to be in the finals. China is a good warm-up opportunity for the next World Championships. "
Although he didn't win the championship, the 4000 points brought by the runner-up made his temporary points surpass the ranking of "Rocket" O 'Sullivan. Murphy said: "I am very happy to be ranked first in the world, but this is only a temporary ranking. Comparatively speaking, I value the ranking after the World Championships more. I hope I can still rank first at that time. "
Speaking of Murphy's final, there is a little tidbit. After Xiao Pang fell behind 7-9, Murphy's beloved wife Claire quietly entered the stadium and became a "star audience" outside the stadium. In every game, she would shout "Come on, Sean!" Encouraged, Murphy almost staged a turnaround. When the score entered the deciding game with 9-9, Claire, who performed very hard, shouted "Lao ~ ~ ~ ~ Gong" excitedly in Chinese, which also made the audience in the vip stand laugh.
Claire's appearance also brought more interactive flavor to the game. When Maguire shouted in the sky because of a mistake in the deciding game, the pony who slowly strolled to the sidelines actually spat out his tongue in the direction of "Mrs. Mo", as if he had made a gesture of disarming in advance. Of course, in the end, Murphy and Claire's "husband and wife's joint efforts" still failed to prevent Maguire from becoming the biggest winner of the Open, but the warm applause and cheers given by the audience to the runner-up were enough to make Mrs. Mo face the regret happily.
In the 2008 World Championships, Murphy was in good shape in the first round. He beat veteran Harold with 10-3. Advance to the second round. However, it is puzzling that Murphy felt nothing in the second round and was defeated by the final runner-up alister Carter 4- 13. He ended his trip to the World Championships ahead of schedule and gave O 'Sullivan the world's number one throne. Maguire, who broke into the semi-finals of the World Championships, surpassed and ranked third in the world at the end of the year.
In the new season of 2008-09, Murphy's performance in the first four ranking matches was quite low. The first round of the Northern Ireland Cup lost 2-5 to the "golden left hand" mark williams who returned strongly; In the Shanghai Masters in September, Murphy once again lost to the unknown Andy Hicks in the first round with 1-5; At the Royal Watch Grand Prix in London in June+10, 5438, Murphy faced the challenge of Gannon the elephant in the first round. Murphy made many mistakes in the game, while Gannon was in a brave state and had extraordinary luck. Although Murphy scored 126 in the eighth inning, he lost to his opponent 3-5 and was out in the first round again. Murphy became a new player in 2008-09 due to the victories of Hendry and Abbott. However, in the new ranking Bahrain Championship in 2008, Murphy failed to break through the first round again, and fell outside the door in the absence of many big-name players including O 'Sullivan and Higgins.
In 2008, the last stop of the world professional snooker ranking competition-the British Championship ended in Telford. After a fierce battle, shaun murphy, the former world champion who ranked third in the world at the end of last season, won two games in a row after being overtaken by his opponent 9-8. He finally beat Fu Jiajun in Hongkong, China by 10-9, won the first individual championship in the British Championship and became the first 10 double champion in the history of snooker.
In the first half of the 2008-2009 season, Murphy was out of the first round without a win in the first four races, which made people stunned. However, he suddenly broke out in this year's British Championship and personally broke into the final of the British Championship for the first time. In previous rounds, Murphy defeated qualifier Gould, Northern Ireland's new star Mark Allen and Stephen Lee in turn, and took revenge on his old rival Maguire in the semi-final, winning the right to the final of the British Championship for the first time. Murphy and Fu Jiajun have played four professional tournaments before. Murphy once defeated Fu Jiajun in the 0 1 Masters Qualifier and the 02 World Championship Qualifier. In the last two games, the winner was Fu Jiajun. In 2007, Fu Jiajun defeated Murphy 4-3 in the deciding game in the group match of the Royal Watch Grand Prix in London, and finally won the first place. When they met in the British Championship this time, they were still fighting as a bee.
Although Fu Jiajun overtook him 9-8 after a 5-3 lead, Murphy still kept his first British Championship trophy, becoming the tenth World Championship and British Championship champion in snooker history, and the first player born in the 1980s to achieve this goal. The previous nine "predecessors" who set such records were: Davis, Griffith, alex higgins, Hendry, Palot, O 'Sullivan, john higgins, mark williams and Abbott.
With this champion, Murphy also pocketed 7,500 points and a high bonus of 654.38+10,000 pounds to give himself the best gift when Christmas is coming.
201410.6, the third leg of the 2065 438+04 European Snooker Tour (ET3) ended in Sofia, Bulgaria. Murphy only lost seven games in seven rounds, including defeating Gould 4-2 in the final, and lifting the championship trophy for the third time on 20 14, with a prize of 25,000 euros.
