Murphy Slams O'Sullivan and Trump for Absence at Crucible Media Day

World Snooker Championship participant Shaun Murphy has expressed disappointment towards Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump for not attending the pre-tournament media day, stating that their absence may harm the sport's image. The duo may face penalties for skipping the event, where the top seeds typically participate in interviews and a photo shoot. Murphy noted that their absence has become a norm and that they could have done more to promote the sport over the years. O'Sullivan and Trump are set to start their tournament on Tuesday, while other players, including Mark Allen and Zhao Xintong, will begin their quest for the championship on Saturday.
