Mark Selby won a fourth world snooker title as he held off a stirring fightback from Shaun Murphy to win 18-15 in front of a capacity crowd at the Crucible. Selby punched the air after sinking the final black under immense pressure to join John Higgins as a four-time world champ.

Two-year struggle

Selby, 37, had endured a torrid time after winning his previous crown in 2017, crashing out in the first round as defending champion and surrendering his status as World No. 1 after going over two-and-a-half years without a British-based ranking title.
