Murphy received a Twitter message on Tuesday, from a user whose account seemed to have been deleted later, saying: “Rumours going round you match fixed tonights game Shaun??? Any truth??”
The shocked English cueman replied: “Absolutely not-ouch.” He later added: “Worst day of my career today, being accused of losing on purpose.”
The 30-year-old Murphy received support from his fellow professionals, with Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen tweeting: “Don’t be silly mate. We all know its a pile of crap!!! Never a more untrue word spoke. Chin up.”
Murphy fell 3-1 behind against Advani before recovering to force a deciding frame. However, Advani won the match and in the process created history by becoming the first Indian cueist ever to reach the pre-quarterfinals of the Welsh Open Pro Snooker Series.
