Shaun Murphy Quotations

Peter is my tip among the last four players. He's at the top of his game.

I'd just won the previous frame so I felt it was my moment. That's why I took it on.

I think anytime you have a security camera, there is the assumption you're being watched.

I went for a couple of shots that I shouldn't have but I didn't win the World Championship be refusing pots.

I think I have something in-built in me and I'm good at fighting back when I'm behind.

I thought my days of playing in cubicles were numbered - but I was wrong.

Michael had never beaten me before but I am sure he came here looking for me. He played really well and took advantage of the mistakes I made. All I did was leave a couple of safety shots short and missed two pots.

We get a lot of people who come from brighter places, transplants from California and Florida.

When Andy made it 4-3 all the memories of what happened in Malta came flooding back - and then it was just a mad free-for-all to get over the line. It's just crazy when that happens. You find yourself playing shots you'd never have played before. It's weird what that little bit of doubt in your mind can do to you.

You have got to adapt to changes, in time zone, culture, diet, a lot, but I did not.

Without his help, I would not be in this position.

We've been pushed back so often it feels like standing still is progress.

It would have been wonderful to finish with a maximum, but it was just wasn't to be.

I've played a bit competitively since the start of the season but not a great deal so I'm very pleased with how I performed out there.

I've no doubt that a lot of players will be out to beat me and will give that bit extra against me. If the roles were reversed and I was playing the world champion I would be absolutely determined to win,

It's a mad free-for-all to get over the winning line at this stage in the competition, so I'm just glad to have got through,

Come April who knows what will happen?, but I'm quite pleased with that draw.
