it can happen and if it was 8-4 Robbo it wouldn't be surprising either.

even Hendry during his prime World Championship winning years lost finals 10-4

when great players meet it can be a great match or a rout.

Why? Most of their matches have been close.


1) I don't think Robbo is in great form at the moment despite winning in Wuxi
2) Trump had a disappointing season and is now extra motivated to finally win a ranker again
3) To stop Judd in a final you have to play your best
4) Robbo is under pressure because he hasn't won his home tournament yet

Neil Robertson 5-9 Judd Trump

Trump wins his fourth ranker, first in almost two years.

Robertson runner up in his home event like last year, where he lost 9-6 to Marco Fu.

Robertson however is the new World Number 1, Trump stays at 6.

And all over, 9-5. Trump deserved to win from what I saw.

Last season we didn't have a British ranking event winner until the Welsh in March. This season we have one in July.

Yea its about reaching finals More you reach the better chance you got of winning them.


Nobody has lost more Ranking Finals than Stephen Hendry (22) with John Higgins (15) second on that list.

that was Neil's 16th Ranking final in 9 seasons
