WELSH OPEN 2023: ROBERT MILKINS BEATS TIAN PENGFEI TO REACH SECOND SNOOKER RANKING EVENT FINAL OF CAREER​

World No. 27 Robert Milkins is into the Welsh Open final after he beat Tian Pengfei 6-2. It’s just the second time Milkins has reached a ranking final, having won the Gibraltar Open last year, and he won the final three frames which made the difference in a match that featured a contrast of styles.

'INCREDIBLE!' - SHAUN MURPHY PULLS OFF OUTRAGEOUS TRICK SHOT BEFORE JOKING WITH CROWD IN WELSH OPEN SEMI-FINAL​

Shaun Murphy played an incredible trick shot in the opening frame of his Welsh Open semi-final against Pang Junxu in a moment that will surely be watched time and time again in the years to come. Using the jaws of the bottom right pocket and the top cushion, Murphy potted a red that was hanging over the pocket. Stream top snooker action live on discovery+ and on eurosport.co.uk. :​

'MAN OF MY WORD!' - SHAUN MURPHY TO ATTEMPT MOONWALK TO CHAIR AFTER REACHING FINAL, DELIGHTED FOR CHANCE TO END DROUGHT​

It's been a long time between ranking final appearances for Shaun Murphy, and an even longer one since his last title. One of those streaks is now broken after Murphy beat Pang Junxu to reach the Welsh Open Final. The other goes on the line on Sunday against Robert Milkins, an opponent that the Englishman knows well. He also said he will live up to his promise to moonwalk to his chair. :​

WELSH OPEN 2023: SHAUN MURPHY BATTLES INTO FIRST FINAL FOR TWO YEARS WITH WIN OVER PANG JUNXU​

World No. 11 Shaun Murphy needed all of his experience to fight his way into the Welsh Open final. The 6-3 final scoreline doesn’t show how much of a battle it was for Murphy given most of the frames at Venue Cymru in Llandudno were very scrappy.

Quote .

" With an £80,000 top prize on offer for the Ray Reardon Trophy, winning the Welsh Open would take Milkins' earnings for the week to £230,0000.

The most the Gloucester player has previously earned in an entire season is £139,000.

Milkins, whose only ranking title victory was last season's Gibraltar Open, told World Snooker: "It's massive, the biggest game of my life. I don't know how I'm going to cope.

"It would be enough just playing for the title, let alone everything that goes with it. I don't know if I'll be able to stand up, but I might rise to the occasion."

If Milkins loses the final Ali Carter will bank the £150,000. "

Congratulations to Robert Milkens.

Wins his second ranking event.

Nice to see Shaun Murphy back in a final though.
That surgery and weight loss is doing him good.

Hindsight's a wonderful thing and the 125/1 for Robert milkins to win the Welsh Open looks huge when you think he's been playing well recently so hopefully somebody somewhere backed him !

SNOOKER GLORY AFTER TRAGEDY: WHY ROBERT MILKINS DESERVES TO STAND TALL AFTER WELSH OPEN TRIUMPH​

Money will not undo the sadness which has marked his long journey through the ranks, but Robert Milkins' unexpected success in winning the 2023 Welsh Open is a reward for the way he has stuck with snooker through thick and often very thin, writes Eurosport's Dave Hendon. In his thoughts are surely those who have helped him, those who are no longer here, and he can stand tall. :​
