Judd Trump vs Shaun Murphy German Masters 2026 Final Frame 06

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:00]Again, 3-2. Three more frames to come in this session.

[00:00:35]Trump has managed to knock in reds off a couple of Shaun Murphy's breaks today and had a chance to do so again. Not this time.

[00:00:43]Missed that one by quite a distance, which is why he cannoned the other red.

[00:01:19]Not quite a repeat of that extraordinary fluke that Trump got earlier in the match when he saw not one but two kisses with the red on its way to the right center pocket at a very acute angle, but it was close.

[00:02:29]>> This long game has been brilliant so far in this final lap, one.

[00:02:32]Very close.

[00:02:36]But Trump can pot it.

[00:03:27]You bramble.

[00:03:41]Five.

[00:04:00]>> Sick.

[00:04:22]Quite a nice pack to charge into.

[00:04:27]Just trying to be careful and detect any possible plans to right corner.

[00:04:34]Yeah, it feels like there's one to left corner perhaps, so what that will probably mean is that he'll hang the power off and go into perhaps the left-hand side of them.

[00:04:51]They are more controlled.

[00:04:53]It's a mini split.

[00:05:04]Is the one in the left almost a little soft push cannon?

[00:05:13]Yeah, it's difficult to get a good outcome.

[00:05:16]Still on it.

[00:05:19]I don't know what he had in mind.

[00:05:26]Pretty horrible queuing this.

[00:05:33]Negotiated it as though it wasn't tricky, it was.

[00:05:38]12 >> 18 And that brilliant cannon into the cluster of red species Trump a chance to move two clear again.

[00:06:32]25 26 33 34 41 42 >> 49 I think both players coming into this final have had a terrific balance to their own games this tournament.

[00:08:08]Slightly different things we've seen here from John. He takes his time when drawing a great opening and when he gets one and a good one he ups the ante and ups the pace.

[00:08:21]Back for blues no big stress certainly on this cloth the way it's running.

[00:08:28]There's a generally been finding the top line although not this time. So that raises one or two doubts.

[00:08:40]Green being off its spot does help with the red down the right.

[00:08:44]He can reach it no problem.

[00:08:47]But he'd like to be close to it obviously.

[00:09:10]That almost seemed like two bad contacts in a row many ones.

[00:09:13]Never know but now the cue ball is about six or eight inches shy of where he wanted it so the brown is going to hamper his torso hence the rest.

[00:09:43]>> Applause, but the frame not quite clinched. Another good shot required from Trump to do so. 67 remaining.

[00:09:58]This is the key ball.

[00:10:05]And he's just caught the near jaws, so 64 from Trump off Murphy's missed long red, but not quite a frame clincher.

[00:11:08]Murphy forced into a containing safety. There's been no semblance of a close frame so far. They've all been won with sizeable breaks.

[00:11:52]>> Well, Judd may pay for leaving that plant. The other reason that he play it is they can play to get the pink off the cushion.

[00:12:10]Not quite, but he is going to be on the black. So, the comeback in the frame is on.

[00:12:23]A snooker crowd loves a plant.

[00:12:26]It was ever thus.

[00:12:28]But, how significant is it going to be?

[00:12:32]Could Murphy conjure a Higgins-esque steal here to level the match again?

[00:12:45]That's his fiancee, Joe, on the left.

[00:12:47]Peter Ebdon, his coach, of course, on the right.

[00:12:51]Big visit for Murphy.

[00:13:02]Nine.

[00:13:18]And the attempt to counter clearance ends disappointingly prematurely for the magician.

[00:13:30]>> So Trump breaks again.

[00:13:33]It's going to be 4-2.

[00:13:36]1 So quite a dramatic frame on the face of it a straight forward one for Trump but that was a chance for Murphy to at least get right back in the frame after Trump had missed frame ball black himself.

[00:13:52]But Murphy doing the same.

[00:13:55]Missing that black to the left corner.

[00:13:59]And so Trump can't be any worse than level going into this evening's deciding session. That puts the pressure on Murphy now in the two remaining frames this afternoon.

[00:14:14]16 17 24 26 That's a new one.

[00:15:02]33 38 Murphy left to ponder what might have been had the black gone in.

[00:15:28]But the chance of a steal came and went with that mistake and Judd Trump mops up what's required to take
