Shaun Stays On Course For Hatrick
Shaun Murphy recorded wins against Andrew Higginson and Steve Davis to reach the last four and remain on course to win his third consecutive title at the Paul Hunter Classic in Germany.
The tournament, which remembers the three-time Masters champion has this year been incorporated into the new Players Tour Championship with the top 24 ranked players qualifying for the Finals in March.
Murphy, who has not been in great form so far this season is ranked number 80 on the PTC Order Of Merit after the first four events in UK, will jump into the top ten with a win in Germany.
In the semi-final he will take on Judd Trump, after the young Bristolian eased past teenagers, Anthony McGill and Jack Lisowski.
In the bottom half of the draw either Jimmy White or Daniel Wells will take on Stuart Bingham or Anthony Hamilton for a place in the final.
