Trump Crashes Out Of World Snooker Championships

Monday, April 25th 2016

Judd Trump's quest to be crowned World Snooker Champion has been ended at the second round stage by China's Ding Junhui, 13-10.

Bristol-based Trump had it all to do going into the day trailing 10-6 to Junhui, but a couple of century breaks saw the World number five close the gap out to 12-10.

Trump missed several chances at 12-10 to continue his impressive comeback, with Junhui finishing the tie to make the quarter-finals for the fourth time.

Trump will now have to wait a year for another crack at snooker's biggest prize, whilst Ding faces Welshman Mark Williams in the quarter-finals.
