Wu Yize wins the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre by defeating Shaun Murphy 18-17 in the final, with the title decided in the last frame. The match is described across outlets as a close, high-pressure contest that extends deep into play, culminating in a deciding-frame decider after a long session. Wu, aged 22, is crowned world champion for the modern era’s second-youngest winner, and multiple reports note his age relative to other recent champions. BBC Sport and others say he becomes the second-youngest Crucible champion. Several sources also place the result within a broader context of Chinese success: Korea Times and Independent report that Wu is the second successive world champion from China, following Zhao Xintong, and Daily Mail similarly highlights back-to-back Crucible victories from China. The Guardian and Korea Times both mention a key turning point in the deciding frame, citing Wu’s break of 85. The Independent and BBC Sport characterize the final-frame finish as decisive, while The Athletic focuses on the first final-frame decider at the Crucible since 2002.
