Murphy Slams O'Sullivan and Trump for Skipping Media Day

Shaun Murphy has expressed disappointment with Ronnie O'Sullivan and Judd Trump for not doing enough to promote the sport, after they skipped the official media day before the World Snooker Championship. The duo may face penalties from the governing body for their absence from the traditional pre-tournament event, where the top seeds participate in a photo shoot and interviews. Murphy stated that their absence has become normal, which he believes is unfortunate and could harm their public image. O'Sullivan and Trump are set to begin their tournament on Tuesday, while other players like Zhao Xintong, Mark Allen, and Mark Williams prepare for their matches. Allen expressed confidence in his recent form and hopes to improve his patchy record at the Crucible.
