Shaun Murphy routed at Alexandra Palace despite two centuries48-year-old one win away from becoming event’s oldest winner
Ronnie O’Sullivan stormed into a 14th Masters final with a 6-2 win over Shaun Murphy and then called on snooker’s young pretenders to up their game.
The 48-year-old moved one victory away from becoming the oldest winner of the Triple Crown event with four half-century breaks enough to down old rival Murphy in their first meeting for five years. The previous oldest winner was Stuart Bingham in 2017 at 43 years and 243 days. O’Sullivan has not won the event since 2016.
