World champion Wu Yize struck three centuries as he beat Si Jiahui 6-2 in the second round of the Shanghai Masters.<\/p>\n

In his first match of the season, Yize went 3-0 up before his Chinese compatriot pulled two frames back.<\/p>\n

Yize responded by knocking in breaks of 108 and two 140s as he took three frames in a row for a victory which sets up a quarter-final against Shaun Murphy in a repeat of their thrilling 2026 World Championship final.<\/a><\/p>\n

Murphy came through a tough battle with Zhou Yuelong before winning 6-5 as he struck a 65 to win the deciding frame.<\/p>\n

“It was great to feel the enthusiasm from the crowd. It’s been quite a while since I last played in front of fans like this,” said Yize, 22.<\/p>\n

“I also haven’t really had the chance to practise properly recently, so when I got back out there I felt a little rusty at first. <\/p>\n

“Fortunately, I managed to find my own rhythm and I think that was the key to winning today’s match.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"World champion Wu Yize struck three centuries as he beat Si Jiahui 6-2 in the second round of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":550152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[111,139,69,213],"class_list":["post-550151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=550151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/550151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/550152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=550151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=550151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=550151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
