Snooker scores LIVE: Mark Williams vs Mark Allen as Murphy and Selby crash out of Masters | Other | Sport

Shaun Murphy said he was “dissapointed” after losing in the first round of the Masters. 

He explained: “I’ve been looking forward to today for a year, walking out as champion, but I enjoyed the first 10 minutes.

“I’m very disappointed. None of it was there. I felt everything I touched was not there. I’ve been working very hard, practising hard, playing a lot of snooker, so I didn’t expect to play like that and I’m as shocked as anyone.

“I didn’t play well, certainly the worst performance of my season, maybe the worst in the Masters.

“Wu looked calm, looked at ease and fully deserved his win. He will be a handful for anyone he plays.”
