You could ask Trump that on Twitter.

He'd get blocked immediately.

That's better from Trump

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.

Astoundingly careless from Marco.

You ask him then!.

Looks like Judd's got those easy misses out of his mind.

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.

Judd's been very lucky this match.

You tell him Michaela.

Was Michaela's decision correct?

Trump having the run of the ball

Where's the cue ball going?

WHERE'S IT GOING?

For what it's worth, I agree 100%

This is a long-arse frame.

Big frame

Now that was a proper frame of snooker.

That frame was so long Steve left the studio.

Fu takes it

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.

Mags forgets he has been 3 times semi finalist here, not twice.

Judd respects other players

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

Yeah it hasn't been a good tournament for him.

Fu I feel needs a good start more than Judd does.
