Next up for Shaun will be a clash with Liang Wenbo, who won another high quality match with Welshman Ryan Day, who had already seen off Chinese opposition in the form of Ding Junhui earlier in the tournament.
It was clear from his celebratory fist pump after the handshake that it was a special win for Murphy and understandably so. Ronnie did little wrong in truth, but every credit to Shaun for not losing belief at 4-2 down having lost the previous four frames, particularly after the drubbing that O’Sullivan gave him at the Crucible last year. Unfortunately for Ronnie though, he was not able to make the intended cannon on the last red to bring it into play and a failed attempt at a thin cut using his left hand a few shots later would prove to be his final shot of the match, as Shaun cleared the table to seal a memorable victory for him. He could not quite get over the line however, as Murphy fought back to force a deciding frame in which he had the first opportunity, before a safety error looked to have given the initiative to the 2012 Berlin champion. Having never previously lost to Shaun Murphy at a ranking event, Ronnie O’Sullivan entered his quarter-final match with the recently crowned Masters champion as favourite, but quickly found himself 2-0 down this evening at the Tempodrom as Murphy hit breaks of 77 and 59.Īs was perhaps to be expected, O’Sullivan hit back, a break of 74 in the third frame preceding a dish of 134 to draw level at the mid-session interval, before he forged further clear at 4-2 with a top run of 73.

In the sixth frame, Robertson made the 115th official maximum break in professional competition, and the first 147 break ever attained in a Triple Crown snooker final, for which he earned £44,000 (a rolling prize of £40,000 for a 147 break, plus the tournament's £4,000 highest break prize). The final between Australia's Neil Robertson and China's Liang Wenbo marked the first time that a British player did not compete in the UK Championship final. In the sixth frame of his third-round match against Neil Robertson, Thailand's Thepchaiya Un-Nooh came close to achieving his first maximum break in professional competition, but missed the final black off the spot. On the opening day of the tournament, amateur player Adam Duffy defeated world number 9 and two-time UK Champion Ding Junhui 6–2, a result that was described as "one of the biggest upsets in UK Championship history". He made his debut as a pundit during the tournament, providing in-studio expert analysis for Eurosport alongside Jimmy White. The 2014 champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, who had not played in professional competition since April, decided not to defend his title. It was the fourth ranking event of the 2015/2016 season. The 2015 Betway UK Championship was a professional ranking snooker tournament that took place between 24 November and 6 December 2015 at the Barbican Centre in York, England.
