World Snooker Championship: China’s Wu Yize wins title for first time in dramatic final

Wu Yize became snooker’s second straight world champion from China after beating Shaun Murphy in a dramatic final-frame decider at the Crucible Theatre on Monday. With his 18-17 victory, the 22-year-old Wu is the second-youngest winner of the worlds after Stephen Hendry at age 21 in 1990. Wu follows in the footsteps of Zhao Xintong, who 12 months ago became the first-ever champion from Asia in a milestone moment for a game whose stronghold has always been in Britain. “All of a sudden, the...

Wu Yize Takes 10-7 Lead in World Snooker Championship Final

Wu Yize stands on the brink of snooker history at the World Snooker Championship final in Sheffield, holding a 10-7 lead over Shaun Murphy. The 22-year-old from Gansu needs just three more frames to become only the second Chinese player to win the title, after Zhao Xintong. A victory would make him the second youngest champion ever, after Stephen Hendry in 1990, and earn him the £500,000 winner's cheque while propelling him to fourth in the world rankings.

Female Spectator Ejected from World Snooker Final After TV Licence Protest

A female spectator was ejected from the Crucible Theatre during the World Snooker Championship final between Shaun Murphy and Wu Yize after jumping over the barrier and shouting about TV licences in the third frame. The woman swore while saying 'Nobody pays their TV licence anyway, who pays their TV licence?' before referee Rob Spencer stopped her and security escorted her out. She will likely face a ban from future World Snooker events. This follows a similar incident in Saturday's semi-final where a male spectator was ejected for shouting about Epstein files. Multiple disruptions have occurred during this year's championship, including issues with phone usage.

Wu Yize vs Mark Allen Play Longest Crucible Frame in History at World Championship

Wu Yize and Mark Allen contested the longest frame in Crucible Theatre history during their World Championship semi-final, a 100 minutes and 21 seconds epic. Chinese star Wu, 22, saw his five-frame lead disappear as Allen recovered from 6-2 down to lead 7-6 before the record-breaking 14th frame. Eight reds covered the black for 55 minutes without a pot, ending only when Allen fouled. Steve Davis called it 'an embarrassment to snooker'.

Barry Hearn expects 2029 World Snooker Championship to stay in UK despite Crucible redevelopment

Barry Hearn has said he expects the 2029 World Snooker Championship to remain in the UK while Sheffield's Crucible Theatre is redeveloped, though he will consider offers. The tournament, held at the Crucible since 1977, will move temporarily in 2029 and possibly 2030 as 500 seats are added to increase capacity to about 1,500. A deal announced in March secures the venue until 2045, with £35m of the £45m redevelopment cost coming from government funding. Hearn mentioned potential UK hosts including Alexandra Palace, Newcastle, and Manchester, while not ruling out European destinations like Berlin's Tempodrom.
