Shaun Murphy Player Overview
Murphy recently dropped out of the top 10 in the world rankings, which did not lead to a deep depression. In the middle of last winter, Shaun conquered The Masters, thereby redeeming himself in the eyes of fans for earlier failures. With the right approach, the Englishman is capable of stopping anyone. Especially since many direct competitors are not having the best of times. Today, the athlete himself left no chance for Barry Hawkins (4:1), and earlier he had a tough match with Ben Woollaston (4:3).

John Higgins Player Overview
Higgins has impressively ended up winning eight consecutive games, along the way becoming the World Open champion. At such an advanced age, it's hard for John to maintain consistency. However, he also successfully avoids any prolonged slumps. Just a few hours earlier, the representative from Scotland confidently broke Kyren Wilson's resistance (4:2), being in the role of the chaser for a brief period (1:2). The athlete possesses fantastic stress resilience, allowing him to maintain full control over the situation no matter what.
