Judd Trump has suffered a loss at the World Snooker Championship, being defeated by Jak Jones in the quarter-finals. Trump, considered a favorite to win the championship, encountered difficulties against his Welsh opponent, leading to a 13-9 defeat. Jak Jones, ranked 44th in the world, is now advancing to the Crucible semi-finals for the first time, after a strong performance.
The defeat for Trump is a setback, as he had high expectations following an impressive season with five ranking titles. His departure from the championship means Ronnie O’Sullivan or Stuart Bingham will be his potential opponents in the next round. Despite a strong start with a century in the first frame, Trump could not maintain the lead and was ultimately surpassed by his opponent.
This outcome also enhances O’Sullivan’s chances for a record-breaking eighth world title, as Trump was seen as his closest rival. The Rocket is currently tied 4-4 against Stuart Bingham in their match, adding further anticipation to the tournament.
