Shaun Murphy edged out Mark Selby 10-9 in a fabulous match to reach the final of the Duelbits Tour Championship, remaining on course to win two consecutive titles in the series.
An outstanding contest, which featured two centuries and 15 more breaks over 50 in the 19 frames, came down to a decider after Selby recovered from 9-6 to 9-9, but it was Murphy who got over the line. He’ll face Kyren Wilson in Sunday’s final, where first to ten frames will lift the coveted trophy and receive the top prize of £150,000.
Playing some of the best snooker of his career, Murphy won the Duelbits Players Championship in February, and now has the chance to add another trophy to a superb season. It will be his third final within six weeks as he was also runner-up to Robert Milkins at the Welsh Open. Murphy, 40, will be playing in his 25th ranking final and aiming for his 11th ranking title, which would put him ahead of Jimmy White on the all-time list.
