Answer

A whitewash is a victory where one player or team does not score a single point. In 2019, Shaun Murphy became the second person to win the World Snooker Championship with a whitewash, after Stephen Hendry achieved the feat in 1993. Murphy defeated Kyren Wilson 18–0, becoming the first player to win the tournament without dropping a frame since Ronnie O'Sullivan in 2008.
