Shaun Murphy is into his fifth World Championship final and is bidding to win a second world title 21 years after his first. Murphy has advanced past Fan Zhengyi, Xiao Guodong, defending champion Zhao Xintong and four-time winner John Higgins to reach the showpiece match against China's Wu Yize. During that run, he has repeatedly pointed out that he is a "better and more astute player" now than when he lifted the World Championship trophy in 2005. In recent times, the 43-year-old has benefitted from having 2002 world champion Peter Ebdon in his corner, worked on the tactical side of his game and experimented with using multiple cues at tournaments. More recently, he has been using a different break-off technique - hitting the third red. The premise behind Murphy's tinkering with the opening shot of a frame is simple. He wants to apply immediate pressure on his opponents by ensuring they do not have a "shot to nothing" - a chance to go for an opportunistic pot while getting the cue ball safe - and avoid a protracted bout of safety. It is an approach that has got the snooker world talking and is clearly reaping dividends.
