Wow, Trump completely cracked under pressure. He shouldn't have had to take such a difficult final blue on in the first place.

Yeah, poor stuff from him again. First another break of 30 when he was in perfect position, and then he fails to make a colour clearance.

Hey, it looks like he's not going to bottle this one!

[Masterdoctorgenius]

wasnt a diffuclt table

all reds were open after opening the pack from ronnies saftey error

but judd makes it very difficult with his bad pos play

[Masterdoctorgenius]

hadnt to play any kiss or difficult split

[Ronnie's tip]

Great break by Judd. He'll kick into gear now.

Great break off too, though okay a bit fortunate.

[usasnooker]

Give Judd credit for that century. I will say that there wasn't any difficult cannons or positional shots to be played. No red was safe and had to be brought out. It was a great full table clearance and I'm sure his confidence is boosted, but I doubt Ronnie gives him an easy table like that again.

So, the first century of the match. Regardless of the level of difficulty, Trump will be delighted to keep Ronnie away from table for so long. Only one more before the interval, though.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the first frame of the match that was won in one visit. Although O'Sullivan might have had one in the first session where he got past snookers required, but not enough for Trump to concede.

I'm still waiting for the first frame where the same guy with the same west country accent doesn't shout out 'c'mon Judd' at some point...

Who is that Muppet shouting nice shot judd all the time regardless if its crap or not? its the same voice every time so im guessing its one of his cronies in the peanut gallery.

Trump's starting to look really good now (except that he just pushed the yellow off its spot with his hand!!) This could go all the way to the wire IMO. Both players are looking dangerous.

It's one of his ******** hangers-on. Does it EVERY MATCH, EVERY FRAME and, as you point out, nearly every shot.

Trump's in his chair. Has he got a hand-grenade or something?

Ronnie can pot quicker than I can type

[Ronnie's tip]

I know it's already been said, but it's such a shame this isn't the final. Snooker as a whole would benefit so much from a ROS vs Trump final.

Tbh, it's actually arguably better for the game if Trump was to win this, assuming ROS does carry on. Though obviously I want ROS to win...
