Wu Yize says he received advice from Ronnie O’Sullivan ahead of his Crucible final win at the World Snooker Championship. The 2025 champion, who claims his first world title, reports that O’Sullivan, a multiple-time record holder, sent him a text message with guidance at a crucial stage of the match. Wu’s win comes against Shaun Murphy, whom he defeats to secure the title at The Crucible. Both outlets present Wu’s account of the communication as a key moment in the build-up to and during the final, highlighting O’Sullivan’s role as a source of encouragement and tactical input rather than participation in the match itself. The reporting frames O’Sullivan’s message as one of several factors in Wu’s performance, while confirming the headline events: Wu wins his first world championship at the Crucible and does so in a final against Shaun Murphy.
