The 23-year-old Chinese star fought past Shaun Murphy in a tense deciding session, but it was O'Sullivan's timely advice that may have tipped the scales.\n\nAccording to Wu Yize, the text arrived at a particularly challenging point in the contest. \"It was a moment when I needed something extra,\" Wu said. \"Ronnie's words gave me clarity.\" O'Sullivan, a seven-time world champion, is known for his tactical genius and psychological insight, and his intervention underscores the respect he holds for the game's emerging talents.\n\nThe final itself was a gripping affair. Murphy, the 2005 champion and a seasoned campaigner, pushed Wu to the limit. Yet the younger player displayed composure beyond his years, eventually crossing the winning line with a break that sealed his first world title. Wu's victory marks a new chapter for Chinese snooker, following in the footsteps of pioneers like Ding Junhui.\n\nO'Sullivan's gesture is rare in professional sport. While rivals often keep their distance, the 'Rocket' chose to reach out to a competitor in the heat of battle. \"It shows the character of Ronnie,\" observed snooker analyst and former champion John Parrott. \"He sees something special in Wu, and he wants the game to thrive.\"\n\nThe text exchange also highlights the close-knit nature of the snooker community. Despite the intense pressure of a Crucible final, players often share mutual respect. Wu's decision to reveal the message adds a layer of intrigue to his triumph, suggesting that victory was not only a product of his own skill but also of collective wisdom.\n\nFor Wu, the win is the culmination of years of dedication. He first picked up a cue as a child in Shanghai and quickly rose through the amateur ranks. His breakthrough on the professional circuit came with a series of strong performances, culminating in this ultimate prize. The timing of O'Sullivan's advice—during the world championship final—makes the tale even more compelling.\n\nMurphy, gracious in defeat, acknowledged Wu's quality. \"He played like a champion throughout,\" said Murphy. \"If Ronnie's text helped him, then so be it—snooker is about mental strength as much as technique.\" The sport's pundits have debated whether such external input should be allowed, but no rules were breached as the communication occurred via personal phone.\n\nThe World Championship itself is steeped in history, with the Crucible stage hosting countless memorable moments. Wu's victory adds a modern twist, blending tradition with a new era of stars. O'Sullivan's involvement, even from a distance, ensures that this final will be remembered for more than just the scoreline.\n\nLooking ahead, Wu's reign as world champion will bring increased attention to Chinese snooker. The sport is booming in China, and his success is likely to inspire a new generation. As for O'Sullivan, his continued mentorship—even via text—shows that the torch is being passed, albeit unofficially, to the next wave of talent.\n\nThis story is a testament to the unexpected ways in which sportsmanship can manifest. A simple text from a legend to a rising star, at a critical moment, became a key part of snooker lore. Wu Yize's world championship win will be celebrated not only for the quality of his play but for the unique bond it revealed between two champions.\n\nBased on reporting from SkySports | News.","news","New snooker world champion Wu Yize disclosed that seven-time winner Ronnie O'Sullivan texted him advice during the decisive stages of his Crucible final against Shaun Murphy, highlighting the unique camaraderie in the sport.","327127410417864705","326135624887177216","Championship","0","2026-05-05T14:46:00Z","wu-yize-reveals-ronnie-o-sullivan-s-mid-match-text-that-helped-seal-world-title","Sky Sports","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.skysports.com\u002Fsnooker\u002Fnews\u002F12040\u002F13540426\u002Fwu-yize-new-snooker-world-champion-reveals-text-exchange-with-ronnie-osullivan-during-sensational-final-win-over-shaun-murphy","326257545754710016","Newcastle",[74,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87],"326257554411753472","326257556324356096","326257615342407680","326257809899393024","326257814563459072","326257822461333504","326257789708013568","326222707169431552","326222713142120448","326257546392244224","326257561592401920",[75,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99],"Newcastle Jets","Newells Old Boys","FC Winterthur","Newport County","Histon","Wingate & Finchley","China","Anderlecht","Canada","Nottingham Forest","FC Midtjylland","Wu Yize Reveals Ronnie O'Sullivan's Mid-Match Text That Helped Seal World Title",[102,142,172,202],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":103,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":104,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":105,"slug":106,"sourceName":107,"sourceURL":108,"teamId":109,"teamName":110,"teamIds":111,"teamNames":126,"title":141},"Italy beat Spain 4-2 on penalties after 1-1 draw to set up a U17 European Championship final against Belgium, who eliminated France earlier.","338075747069464577","2026-06-04T19:28:40Z","italy-edge-spain-on-penalties-u17-euro-final-vs-belgium","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FL-italie-rejoint-la-belgique-en-finale-de-l-euro-des-moins-de-17-ans\u002F1681874#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257661500723200","Italy",[109,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,84],"326222711401484288","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255039846813696","326255041625198592","326257536296554496","326257536413995008","326257537865224192","326257539844935680","326257664680005632","326257696636407808","326222711447621632","326222711569256448","326222711653142528",[110,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,96],"Belgium","Paraguay","Lesotho","FK Partizan","Partizani","Auxerre","Paris FC","Estoril","Parma","Estonia","Azzurri","France","Brazil","Spain","Italy Edge Spain on Penalties: U17 Euro Final vs Belgium",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":64,"excerpt":143,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":144,"leagueId":67,"leagueName":68,"matchId":69,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":145,"slug":146,"sourceName":147,"sourceURL":148,"teamId":149,"teamName":150,"teamIds":151,"teamNames":161,"title":171},"Italy U17 edged Spain 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw, goalkeeper Lupo saving two spot-kicks, to book a U17 Euro final vs Belgium on June 7.
