John Higgins v Shaun Murphy on TV: Live Streaming Details
John Higgins v Shaun Murphy will be shown live in the UK on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer. The first session has a start time of 13:00 (UK Time).
Shaun Murphy and John Higgins renew their rivalry in a heavyweight semi final clash at the World Snooker Championship.
The pair famously met in the 2009 final at the Crucible Theatre, where Higgins ran out a convincing winner, and Murphy now has the chance to gain a measure of revenge on the sport’s biggest stage.
Higgins has battled his way through a brutal draw to reach a 12th Crucible semi final. He overcame Ali Carter in round one before producing a stunning comeback from 9-4 down to defeat Ronnie O’Sullivan 13-12.
The Scot followed that up with another comeback win, seeing off Neil Robertson 13-10 in the quarter-finals, underlining his trademark resilience and tactical strength.
Murphy’s route has been more straightforward, but no less impressive. Victories over Fan Zhengyi and Xiao Guodong set up a quarter final with defending champion Zhao Xintong, whom he defeated 13-10.
Known for his attacking style and heavy scoring, Murphy will look to impose himself early, while Higgins is likely to rely on his tactical nous and experience to drag the match into a gruelling battle.
Their recent meeting in the UK Championship went the distance, with Murphy edging a 6-5 victory, and another close contest looks likely over the longer format.
