- Murphy snookers himself behind the blue when on 120
- ‘I couldn’t breathe’ he says after winning match 6-2
Shaun Murphy fell just short of a 147 break as he defeated Neil Robertson to move into the Masters semi-finals at Alexandra Palace.
In the eighth frame in which he completed a 6-2 victory, Murphy, on course for a maximum, misjudged his shot as he potted the black to take his break to 120 and snookered himself on the yellow behind the blue.
