You could ask Trump that on Twitter.
He'd get blocked immediately.

i think Judd after the initial burst that took him to the UK and China Open titles and World Championship runner up in 2011 he got complacent and not put in the same level of work thinking all he had to do was turn up he would play well.
its hard to get it back.
With Hendry he had done it all so the motivation wasent there and then father time kicked him in the guts.

In The Masters programme, it gives you a Fascinating Fact for each player in the tournament.
Here is Judd Trump's.
Judd loves fasr cars and recently visited the McLaren Technology Centre, where he enjoyed a spin in a 12C.

Trump looks to be motoring.
I really wanted a Ding vs Fu Quarter Final.

The commentators are implying that players don't apologise for flukes any more.
Selby did it yesterday.

I thought Virgo was just making a (rubbish) joke because today's players blatantly do. Even Judd.

That was massive for Fu, 3-1 down and Trump may have ran away with it after the MSI.
2 all it's anybody's game.

Trump may have improved his safety game massively over the last two years, but for me he lacks the ability to switch from long safety bouts to breakbuilding, which is just as important imo.

Well he said he gives them equal respect aka none. That attitude's worked for him hasn't it?

Some of his semi final performances here have been truly forgettable, so you can't blame him

Judd needs to find the right balance between abit of arrogance and showing a lack of respect
Its a fine line
