4-1 ! Let's see how Trump deals with such a rather big deficit.

First time we have seen Trump dominated in a match for a while and I think it now highlights his weaknesses. He seems to hit the balls harder when he's under pressure and that means he's going to miss a lot more. He needs to create a smoother cue action like Ronnie's if he's to really become a top player for me.

I guess you could make the arguement of he who dares wins. He goes for some unreal shots and usually get's them. At times he possibly makes his own luck.

Yeah that comes into it as well...personally I still don't like to see that, but hey I'm funny that way

Not looking good for Trump now. I can't even remember Robertson losing once from 4-1 up in a big match. He is extremely solid in these situations.

Yesterday in his PMI, Neil Questioned Trump's ability to come from behind, now we'll see how Judd responds to that particular gauntlet.

That's precisely what is lacking in Trump's game, but this will take time to 'learn'. He is still so young!

Edit : I will take everything back if Trump comes back from 4-1 down and wins this match. That would be enough confirmation for me.

[Ronnie's tip]

Roberton has been lucky the last two shots where he's not left anything. What was that I was saying about Trump getting all the luck?

Still fancy Trump to win this though.

[daffie]

I was thinking the exact same thing.

5-1...can't see Trump coming back now.

[Ronnie's tip]

Still fancy Judd to win. Heard it here first!!

If this is going to be what he is going to play when he can't pot at his best, I might call him the second coming of Ryan Day!!
No, not that far, lol.

Sorry, Ryan : /

Ha the boy has weakness.....

[daffie]

Yeah it's like all or nothing with him. Typically from the fast&furious generation he is

[Odrl]

Surely we are not going to have an entire tournament without a single close match? If Robertson wins in the next frame or two, there are only two matches left!

[daffie]

Still fancy Judd to win. Heard it here first!!

Still fancy Trump now???

That's too bad. I would love to get someone to succeed as new John Higgins or MJW at the big stage.
Then again, it's early to judge the generation altogether. Perhaps someone else younger will cut it.
