Ronnie O'Sullivan will face Shaun Murphy in the 2019 Shanghai Masters Final. Shaun qualified in the final after winning without problems against his good friend, Mark Allen.
Ronnie battled Neil Robertson in the semis and after losing the first session by just one frame (5-4 to Robinson), O'Sullivan came back in great style, aided by Neil's failed long shots. There were a few childish mistakes in the second session, but Ronnie was dominant and finally won 10-6 (6-1 in the second session).
