Shaun Murphy

Odds: 21.0

World Ranking: 4

Last five  years: L32/L16/QF/RU/L16

The 2005 champion has become very consistent in terms of reaching the latter stages of events, only to develop a bad habit of underperforming on the big stage. That was the case when losing the 2012 Masters and UK Championship finals and also in the 2009 final here. Because he hasn't won a ranking tournament for two years, Murphy is relegated behind the market leaders for Sheffield, but 'The Magician' remains a threat to all if peaking at the right stage of the tournament.
