Murphy V Harold

Shaun of the Med!

Shaun Murphy is the provisional world number one, thanks to a relentless ability to reach the semi-final of ranking events.

He also succesfully defended his Malta Cup title earlier in the year.

A much more complete player than when he won the title in 2005, is a serious contender to lift the coveted trophy at the end of the 17-days.

Harold has enjoyed a consistent campaign but we can't see him causing too many problems for Murphy.
