29 Finals and Counting — Shaun Murphy Rolls Back the Years in Berlin
Shaun Murphy is rolling back the years — and then some — as he books his place in the final in Berlin with a breathtaking display of snooker brilliance. The Magician continued his red-hot run of form with a commanding 6–1 victory over Neil Robertson, sending a clear message to the rest of the field: Murphy means business.
This latest triumph wasn’t just another win — it was a statement. Robertson, a former world champion and one of the game’s fiercest competitors, simply couldn’t live with Murphy’s precision, confidence, and relentless scoring. From the opening frame, Murphy was in complete control, punishing every mistake and barely offering his opponent a glimpse back into the match.
What makes this run even more remarkable is the quality of players left in his wake. Murphy has already dismantled World No. 3 Kyren Wilson and the ever-dangerous Mark Allen, posting an astonishing aggregate score of 16–2 across those encounters. Against opponents of that calibre, such dominance is nothing short of extraordinary.
For fans of Super Shaun, this feels like something special. This final marks the 29th of Murphy’s illustrious career — a staggering achievement in an era where competition is deeper and tougher than ever. With so many young stars and elite match-players battling week in, week out, consistency at this level demands not only talent, but resilience, belief, and hunger.
Murphy is showing all three in abundance. His cue ball control has been sublime, his long-potting fearless, and his match play ruthlessly efficient. More than that, he’s playing with freedom — the hallmark of a player brimming with confidence.
As Berlin awaits the final showdown, one thing is certain: Shaun Murphy has earned his place on snooker’s biggest stage once again. Best of luck tomorrow — Super Shaun is flying.
