won the dramatic World Championship final<\/a> in May, the 22-year-old trailed by five frames to four in the third round, having led 3-1, before building his fifth 50-plus break of the match to force a decider.<\/p>\nAfter England’s Murphy unexpectedly missed a red when leading 62-29 in the final frame, the Chinese held his nerve to clear the black and complete another nail-biting win.<\/p>\n
Wu will face England’s Judd Trump in the last four after he brushed aside Scotland’s John Higgins 6-0, including three consecutive century breaks in the final three frames.<\/p>\n
“Although the result was good and I managed to win the match, I never really took control of it. Hopefully I can find my rhythm and get back to my best in the next match as I prepare for the semi-finals,” said Wu.<\/p>\n
“I definitely made a lot of mistakes that I shouldn’t have made. To be honest, I didn’t expect to get another chance in the deciding frame, and I was quite surprised when Shaun missed and let me in.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think either of us played particularly well today. It wasn’t as high a standard as the match we produced in the World Championship final.”<\/p>\n
Defending champion Kyren Wilson recovered from 5-3 down to beat three-time world champion Mark Williams in a deciding frame, reeling off breaks of 61, 54 and 113 to complete his comeback.<\/p>\n
He will face 2025 world champion Zhao Xintong in a repeat of last year’s semi-final, which Wilson won 10-5.<\/p>\n
Zhao crushed Australia’s Neil Robertson 6-0, with a highest break of 117 in the third frame. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"World champion Wu Yize overcame “a lot of mistakes” to edge past Shaun Murphy 6-5 and reach the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-576245","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\/576245","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=576245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
