Mark Allen has blasted Shaun Murphy's 'baffling behaviour' in the latest instalment of their bitter war of words. The latest flashpoint comes after Murphy sent a pointed message to Kyren Wilson, who recently complained about his treatment on tour.
The world champion was frustrated about playing on table two at the British Open while Mark Selby and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh played on the main TV table.
In reply, Murphy said on his podcast: "It’s about time the players understood that it’s about which match is the most attractive, the most exciting, which is going to pull more viewers in and that’s the one that will go first.
It’s no more complicated than that. "Kyren asks what are the rewards for being world champion. You’ve got half a million pounds, that was your reward for winning the World Championship.
