- Ronnie O'Sullivan called Wu "really special," while John Higgins compared him to the late Paul Hunter, stating, "He reminds me so much of the late, great Paul Hunter." Both quotes exact from sources.
- Murphy, the 2005 world champion, seeks to join an elite group of multiple winners, noting, "There is a slightly different nod given to the guys that have won it twice or more." 33 words.
