Wu Yize Leads Shaun Murphy 10-7 at Crucible Final
Wu Yize is on course to become the second-youngest player ever to win the World Snooker Championship after opening up a 10-7 lead over Shaun Murphy in the final.

Wu Yize holds a 10-7 lead over Shaun Murphy after the opening sessions of the World Snooker Championship final at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. The 20-year-old Chinese player is positioning himself to make history as he bids to become the second-youngest champion ever at the venue.

Watch the highlights:

Murphy, seeking his second World Championship title, faces an uphill battle to overturn the deficit in the remaining sessions. The English player will need to produce a strong comeback to deny Wu the trophy.

Wu has demonstrated composure beyond his years throughout the tournament. His clinical break-building has been a feature of his performances in Sheffield this year.

The final continues with the remaining frames scheduled across the coming sessions. Wu will look to maintain his advantage as he aims to cap a remarkable breakthrough season with the sport's biggest prize.
