Former champion Shaun Murphy bemoaned “the worst two days of my snooker years” after crashing out of the World Championship in a 10-4 defeat to Thailand’s Noppon Saengkham. Murphy told BBC Sport: “I was very much below par across the whole match – probably the worst two days of my snooker years came together at the worst possible time. “My form has been good this season with two titles and other finals, so this was a shock to me. He taught me how to get through because for an Asian player to come to the UK is difficult. “For the last three or four days I have turned my phone off and not done anything on the internet.
