The final match of the World Snooker Championship was briefly interrupted when a female protester made her way towards the table, shouting about TV licenses. Referee Rob Spencer swiftly intervened as players Wu Yize and Shaun Murphy watched on. The incident occurred during the third frame, with Wu leading 2-0 at the time. Despite the disturbance, Wu quickly resumed play after the protester was removed by security.
The disruption followed a similar incident the day before, where another spectator was ejected for shouting about the Epstein Files during the semi-final between Wu and Mark Allen. Commentators and attendees commended the handling of the situation by officials.
In a thrilling semi-final, Allen narrowly missed securing a spot in the final by botching a simple black ball, allowing Wu to claim victory with a 17-16 scoreline. Despite his disappointment, Allen acknowledged the quality of Wu’s play and predicted a bright future for him in the sport.
Meanwhile, Shaun Murphy advanced to the final by overcoming John Higgins in a hard-fought match, setting up a showdown with Wu. Murphy expressed his respect for Higgins’ skill and resilience, praising him as a formidable opponent.
