Shaun Murphy was utterly stunned to receive glowing praise from Stephen Hendry after his commanding World Championship triumph over Zhao Xintong. The 2005 champion couldn't resist playfully teasing the Scot upon learning of the compliment from the legendary snooker figure in the commentary box, who had witnessed his 13-10 success . "Stephen Hendry in commentary said it was 'flawless' and Stephen's compliments don't come by very easy..." Seema Jaswal informed a delighted Murphy in the BBC studio.
