    Impressive stuff from Shaun Murphy!
    Shaun Murphy set a record in his comfortable 5-0 win over Jamie Cope in the second round of the Welsh Open.

    He became the first player in the 31-year history of 201 world ranking tournaments to compile four centuries in a row in a best-of-nine match.

    The 2005 world champion, who won the Malta Cup earlier this month, knocked in a 135 clearance in the first frame.

    The Englishman added runs of 123, 102 and 101 and also had a chance in the fifth frame but, on 31, lost position.

    Magic Murphy sets century record

    Higginson is SUCH a likeable guy! Wonder how he survives having only e100,000 in 10 years as a pro. Think he's up against it today though.

    Very enjoyable final and a pity Higginson didn't have the resolve to get over the line. Not sure where this puts him in the rankings but I hope wee see him on TV again. He needs to win 4 matches against reasonable opposition to get to the Crucible.
