2017 World Championship - Main Event

Minor injury ???? Not fallen on his shoes has he........on no he can't have ......that would be a major injury

If he did can you imagine the damage if he fell onto them arse first? Would be like sitting on a cactus.

You wouldn't want to forget that you were wearing them and then polish them on the back of your trousers !!!!

Huge blood loss .....would look like Edward Scissorhands had been scratching your leg !

McLeod is hitting everything ridiculously hard.

Yeah, well sometimes way too soft, it's like he can't control the pace of his shots at all.

[PatBlock]

Problem for Judd is he isn't getting blown away, he has chances in just about every frame but they are all so messy.

And atm McLeod's safety game is better. Judd had the chance to win the 14 frame but missed the green with the rest.

McLeod isn't even playing that good. He is playing along his abilities.

Yeah his cue action seems very "bouncy" for want of a better word, seems to be bobbing the cue up and down quite a bit.

The problem with Trump is that his game relies heavily on potting. And when he isn't potting well (maybe because of missing confidence), then a game like this can happen.
It's just a bit strange this happens after he had a comfortable 4-0 lead, when you think the pressure should have been off.

Eurosport showed a couple of captions where Judd was clearly in pain when going down on the shot, gritting his teeth. Could explain why he's cueing so badly. He's moving a lot on the shot and putting way too much power. If by some miracle, he escapes this and win this match, he'll better book an appointment with a chiropractor before facing Maguire...

I feel for him, really. First round of the biggest event of the year and being taken down by an injury....

Also, its made this a blueprint now for other players to beat him. The lack of mental strength to deal with this type of game will continue to haunt him until he finds a way to manage. This reminds me a lot of Ronnie's matches years ago when he self destructed against players who weren't allowing him to play. Ronnie had the courage to ask for help, I wonder if Trump is too stubborn to admit its a problem and seek similar help?

Probably on pornhub til the wee hours of the morning. Self inflicted!

[Neil Taperell]

Anyone actually know what he has done ?

[cueman]

Anyone actually know what he has done ?

Could just be tension and maybe his muscle has gone into spasm. Even so its bloody painful and hard to play with.

[VillaGuy]

This is the biggest frame of this Trump-McLeod match right here

[narl]

Theres a Trump special.

[kligu]

This is as hard to watch as the infamous O'Brien vs Gilbert decider...
