Wu Yize became the second Chinese to win World Snooker Championship following Zhao Xintong's triumph last year, defeating England's Shaun Murphy 18-17 at the Crucible Theatre here on Monday.

当地时间5月4日，在谢菲尔德的克鲁斯堡剧院，吴宜泽以18比17力克英格兰名将肖恩·墨菲，成为继去年赵心童夺冠之后，第二位捧起斯诺克世锦赛冠军奖杯的中国球手。

Wu, 22, also became the second-youngest Crucible winner after Stephen Hendry who was 21 in 1990. He lifted the trophy after the final, with his parents standing by his side.

22岁的吴宜泽还成为自1990年21岁夺冠的斯蒂芬·亨德利之后，在克鲁斯堡登顶的第二年轻的冠军。决赛后，他在父母陪伴下举起了奖杯。

"They are the true champion, since the moment I devoted myself to snooker, my father has always been my company, my mother also went through ups and downs in these years. They are and always will be my motivation," said Wu, who moved to Sheffield at 16 years old and lived in a tiny room with his father for a long time.

“他们才是真正的冠军。从我投身斯诺克的那一刻起，父亲就一直陪伴着我，母亲这些年也一同经历了起起落落。他们过去是，将来也永远是我的动力。”吴宜泽说。16岁时他便移居谢菲尔德，曾与父亲在一间狭小的房间里长住。

Wu took an early 3-0 lead before Murphy fought back to tie the first session 4-4. Breaks of 103, 89 and 91 helped Wu established a 10-7 lead after session two, before Murphy won five straight frames. Wu then dominated the next three frames to take a slender 13-12 lead into the last session.

决赛中，吴宜泽开局取得3比0领先，但墨菲随后反击，在第一阶段结束时将比分扳为4比4。凭借单杆103分、89分和91分的表现，吴宜泽在第二阶段过后建立起10比7的领先优势，但墨菲随后连赢五局。吴宜泽及时稳住阵脚，连下三局，以13比12的微弱优势进入最后阶段。

Murphy contributed the highest break of the final in the 32nd frame with 131 points to tie 16-16, turning the 35-frame final into a best-of-three match. Each player won one frame, before Wu successfully potted a tricky red in the middle pocket to finish the decider with a winning break of 85.

第32局，墨菲打出决赛最高的单杆131分，将比分追成16比16，也让这场35局18胜制的决赛变成了三局两胜的较量。两人各赢一局后，吴宜泽在决胜局果敢地将一颗难度极高的红球打进中袋，并顺势以一杆85分终结比赛。

"I'd like to congratulate Wu Yize. I hate being right - earlier this season I said he would be world champion one day. It's just a shame it is today!" joked Murphy, who won his solitary title in 2005 before finishing runner-up in his next four final appearances in 2009, 2015, 2021 and today.
