World champion Wu Yize overcame "a lot of mistakes" to edge past Shaun Murphy 6-5 and reach the Shanghai Masters semi-finals. After England's Murphy unexpectedly missed a red when leading 62-29 in the final frame, the Chinese held his nerve to clear the black and complete another nail-biting win. Hopefully I can find my rhythm and get back to my best in the next match as I prepare for the semi-finals," said Wu. It wasn't as high a standard as the match we produced in the World Championship final." He will face 2025 world champion Zhao Xintong in a repeat of last year's semi-final, which Wilson won 10-5.
