Judd Trump finishes off Tom Ford to reach 10th Crucible quarter-final

Judd Trump sealed his place in his 10th Crucible quarter-final after polishing off Tom Ford in the second round of the World Snooker Championship.

Trump resumed two frames from victory at 11-5 and split the first four frames to seal a 13-7 victory and seal a last-eight slot against either Jak Jones or Si Jiahui.

Despite a 979th career century followed by a break of 84 to get him over the line, Trump described his performance as "average" and admitted he struggled with the conditions of the Crucible table.

"The table was a bit heavy but I think I dealt with it, I wasn't too harsh with myself and I was able to stay patient," said Trump.

"I think it was important to get that 6-2 lead in the first session and I just capitalised. From there you shouldn’t really lose it unless you give it away."

In the Saturday afternoon session, Antrim native Mark Allen takes on John Higgins for a place in the quarter-final, while Jones resumes 9-7 up against Si.
