Trump secured a commanding 13-7 victory over Ford, achieving his 78th century of the season with a score of 107. Despite Ford’s impressive start to the year, which saw him achieve his highest ever ranking, he confessed that he finds snooker boring to watch. In an interview with Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips YouTube channel, Ford expressed his distaste for watching the game and indicated that he would not be following the rest of the tournament after his loss to Trump.
He mentioned that even as a child, he never enjoyed watching snooker and would rather be at the pub if he was beaten. Ford’s comments suggest that he will not be watching Trump’s quarter-final clash against Jak Jones, who defeated Si Jiahui 13-9 and expressed determination to do his best in the upcoming match.
