Well, I don't know why people thought Zhao would win today. Yes, he showed good snooker in the Q tour and in qualifying, but this is his first professional tournament after a 20 month ban, a triple crown, and his opponent is a top player who has played decent and consistent snooker this season. Zhao is simply not ready to compete the best players in the world on big stages again. Not yet. I'm actually surprised that it came down to the Decider, Shaun should have won more confidently with his current state of play, but he made some ridiculous mistakes.
You have to remember Zhao's head to head against Murphy isn't great anyway. Zhao's only beaten Murphy once in 2018 out of all their matches together so I think your comments are a bit harsh.
Some of these players like Zhao thinks as long as they can sink balls they can win anything, but it's NOT in harsh reality and they just cannot get over it. If he can consistently score 70 plus game by game like Trump that's fair enough but he just can't.
Zhao was playing amazing never lost a game, i dont know even try , he could potting zhao was clever but this time last shot, like he be arsed , what go on crazy, it looked taken easy what he wanted to do, snooker both time, and it was little to hard and muphy got shot and win. but if working right murphy was very hard shot he didnt think or take it serious. zhao crazy he not like that
@@Emissary_of_Revolution What Shaun meant was that amateurs should acquire professional status (tour card) before being allowed to play professional tournaments, through the various routes (Q School, Amateur World Champs, junior tournaments). Which is a valid opinion, even if one doesn't agree with him.
Murphy is a legend
Shaun deserved 👋👋👋
❤well done Murphy
Good to see the best man win
Arrgh. Thought Zhao would win this. Gutted he’s out as he’s so easy on the eye.
Didn’t deserve to win after that snooker behind the green imho
Shaun will enjoy his early evening feed after that.
Deffo thrown the last frame 😂
Murphy is boss🎉❤
Sean O'Murph
Missed a trick on that green I thought
Phenomenal player.. not sure about the Kim Jong Un haircut though?

Sure, but Zhao did just lose a decider, so it's not that much of a shocker that some ppl thought he would win.

should have gone for the green.....
Murphy a disgrace to snooker
And most people voted for Zhao to win that match on RUclips but sadly he lost. I hope he'll bounce back.

Pan Pulchny męczył się z amatorem? Nie może być :)
amateur ? xd
@@Emissary_of_Revolution Napisałem to z przekąsem. To odnośnik do słów Shaun'a, że amatorzy nie powinni grać w turniejach :)
The other amateur (Si) beat him, Zhao did not.
