In recent seasons, Judd Trump has not been associated with winning ugly — but that is shaping up to be how his World Championship is going, and it is impressing Alan McManus and Jimmy White. By his own admissions, Trump has not been enjoying his snooker and said he will put away his cue for a while once the World Championship concludes.
Yan Bingtao has said he chose to ask the referee to clean the white at a key juncture in his World Championship match with Mark Selby as a joke in a bid to lighten the mood. The 2021 Masters champion was 10-7 ahead in a match he went on to win when he was left with a fiendish shot. Ad/> It was not clear whether the cue ball would pass the blue on the way to the brown that was sat over the pocket, and he agonised over the shot.
Yan Bingtao versus Mark Selby always had the feel of a match that could burn the midnight oil, as neither is famed for swashbuckling snooker, with caution often the watchword. Matches often tend to last a long time when three minutes are taken over a shot. But that was what Yan did in the 18th frame of their second-round encounter at the World Championship on Saturday.
Jimmy White feels Ronnie O’Sullivan did enough in beating Mark Allen to believe he is now favourite for World Championship glory. O’Sullivan has one title to his name this term, but has produced some excellent snooker overall. Ad/> He eased past David Gilbert in round one and went up a gear to crush Allen 13-4.
Eurosport expert Jimmy White has hailed Ronnie O'Sullivan's performance against Mark Allen at the World Championship as «phenomenal» and «sublime». The Rocket dominated the opening session of the second-round match, and he continued where he left off on Friday evening in a comprehensive performance against the talented Allen. Ad/> O'Sullivan continued to prevent Allen from playing in ruthless fashion as he powered to a 12-4 lead overnight in the race to 13 frames at the Crucible.
Jimmy White has claimed Zhao Xintong is the most naturally gifted player since Ronnie O'Sullivan and is capable of winning the World Championship this year. The 25-year-old burst onto the scene in December by winning the UK Championship, then followed it up with the German Masters in January. Ad/> Heimpressed in the first round of the World Championship in Sheffield, beating Jamie Clarke 10-2.
Duane Jones produced a horror miss on the “easiest black in the world” during his World Championship qualifier on Monday. After seemingly wrapping up the second frame to draw level with women’s world champion Nutcharut Wongharuthai, Jones was hoping to get his eye in and clear up the table.
Judd Trump is one of the greatest potters the game has ever seen, but he is also capable of the odd howler — and he produced one of the worst shots of his career in the Welsh Open final on Sunday afternoon. After battling hard to earn a 4-3 lead, Trump looked set to move into a two-frame cushion at the interval. Ad/> He’d crafted a chance and was well set to get over the line, with a simple pink standing between himself and a lead in the race to nine.
