The Huya live streaming platform is broadcasting the Snooker Tour Championship quarter-final match between Trump and Shaun Murphy. Zhao Xintong will compete at 2 a.m. tomorrow.
This match adopts a 19-frame, 10-win format, divided into two stages. Currently, the first stage is underway, with eight frames to be completed. Shaun Murphy leads Trump 2-0.
Who will win this match and advance to the semifinals? I believe Trump will win, because his historical record against Murphy is 32 wins and 14 losses, with a significantly higher win rate, and Trump has won the last eight encounters. Trump's attacking power and long-pot accuracy are top-tier; the longer 19-frame, 10-win format relies more on continuous scoring, giving him an advantage. Of course, Murphy can rely on his potting and defensive skills to disrupt Trump's rhythm. Although Shaun Murphy is currently leading, I still think Trump will win. My prediction: Trump will beat Shaun Murphy 10-6 or 10-7 and advance to the semifinals. What do you think?
