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 of snooker after they failed to attend the official media day before the World Snooker Championship. The two players may face fines for missing the event, where the top seeds participate in a photo shoot and interviews with the press. Murphy stated that it has become normal for O'Sullivan and Trump to skip such events, which he believes is unfortunate and could damage their public image. The World Snooker Championship is set to begin, with O'Sullivan and Trump scheduled to start their campaigns on Tuesday. Meanwhile, other top players, including Mark Allen and Mark Williams, are preparing for their matches, with Allen expressing confidence in his recent form. The tournament will also feature a number of other exciting matches, including a first-round encounter between Zhao Xintong and Liam Highfield.
