Trump sets up Murphy quarter-final at Players Championship
World number one Judd Trump beat China's Lei Peifan to set up a quarter-final against Shaun Murphy at the Players Championship.
England's Trump produced a clinical display on the show table in Telford to win 6-2, with the turning point coming in the sixth frame when Lei missed what appeared to be an easy shot to level 3-3.
Trump then took full advantage as he won the next three frames to progress, with a top break of 139.
Murphy, meanwhile, held off a spirited display by fellow Englishman Barry Hawkins to win 6-4.
Hawkins fought back from 3-0 down to level the match at 4-4, but Murphy kept his cool to get the job done and closed out victory with a 123 break.
Australian Neil Robertson will play Mark Selby in the last eight after coming from behind to win 6-4 against Stuart Bingham - the man Robertson beat 10-0 in the recent World Grand Prix final.
England's Selby - aiming to win his third title of the season - made breaks of 132, 128 and 99 on his way to beating China's Si Jiahui 6-3.
