Ronnie O’Sullivan produced a superb display to beat Shaun Murphy 5-3 and reach the quarter-finals of the World Open in Yushan.<\/p>\n
After O’Sullivan’s 96 break in the first frame, Murphy hit back with a 139 in the second before edging ahead.<\/p>\n
But seven-time world champion O’Sullivan responded with runs of 77 and 121 to retake the lead.<\/p>\n
Although Murphy drew level again, O’Sullivan produced further breaks of 89 and 76 to see off his fellow Englishman and advance to his 150th ranking quarter-final.<\/p>\n
The 50-year-old will face Wales’ Ryan Day, who defeated Latvia’s Artemijs Zizins 5-4 in the last eight on Friday.<\/p>\n
Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen is also through to the quarter-finals, recording a 5-0 win over Zhou Yuelong of China.<\/p>\n
He will face Wu Yize, also of China, for a place in the semi-finals after the 22-year-old came through 5-2 against 2024 world champion Kyren Wilson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ronnie O’Sullivan produced a superb display to beat Shaun Murphy 5-3 and reach the quarter-finals of the World…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354411,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-354410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354410","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354410"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354410\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354410"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354410"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354410"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
