Tour Championship 2022: Judd Trump told to switch to World Championship as Luca Brecel names ‘dream’ final opponent

Judd Trump has been urged to forget about his Tour Championship exit and focus on the upcoming World Championship by Ken Doherty. An impressive 10-6 victory saw Scottish Open champion Luca Brecel beat Trump in their quarter-final in Llandudno, in what is the final ranking event before the World Championship. Ad/> Trump has won one ranking title (Turkish Masters) this year compared to five the season prior, and despite back-to-back centuries of 140 and 103 on Thursday night, overall it was another below-par performance with too many routine misses – starting with a brown in the opening frame that typically he would have sunk.

He missed a lot of blacks off the spot and they’re demoralising,” said Neal Foulds on ITV. Doherty, the 1997 world champion, added: “He just didn’t look confident.

I think it goes back to that very first miss on the brown. It unnerved him, and he looked very nervous. He had a little run tonight but other than that, he missed a lot of balls he wouldn’t normally.
