Trump played a bad safety in which he gave Barry a long pot at the red,he pots it and clears from there.

Just a safety that wasn't good enough. Left Hawkins a too easy long red and he cleared.

In a way there's now more pressure on Ronnie than yesterday. Let's see if it will affect him tonight.
Good point, but I really don't think Ronnie will be looking too far ahead.
He wants to exact revenge for the WC loss, and that I think will spur him on.

That's what Hendry says as well on twitter.
Hendry also probably thought Barry had no chance against Robbo in the Worlds last year
He nearly always says that he expects the bigger name to win.

I don't think he wanna be disrespectful to Barry with this comment. He justs want to point out probably that Trump is lacking the winning mentality or just choking when it really matters and you've got to say that Hendry is right about that.

I think Hendry should know better than anyone that every day is a different day. Look at Robbo last year; sublime against Ronnie and then hammered by Murphy in the final. Credit to Judd though, match is barely over and he's already onto twitter to wish Barry all the best, looked like a nice handshake after the match as well.

Unless he plays top class 95% + pot success he can't win ugly so to speak

That easy missed red being 4-3 up was a choke, agreed. But I wouldn't say Judd bottled this match, Barry was just a bit better today.

Nah, he's won ugly a lot of times before. Hawkins was just the better today.

Barry Hawkins defeated Judd Trump 6-4 this afternoon in the Semi Finals of the Masters. Judd Trump lead 4-3 but Barry hit back with 3 centuries and won the match.
He is looking to face either Stuart Bingham or Ronnie O Sullivan in the Final.

He has the same problem like Matthew Stevens had in his prime. They have all the talent in the world but they can't produce it in the very big moments.
Judd's a bit like Jimmy White.

You are the joke.
Unless you want to prove me wrong, and enter the World Championship and show us how well you'd do.
What he meant is Bingham is a solid player, but he is nothing special. He doesn't stand out in a crowd of players

I am just glad we won't have to see that 'Murder King' logo tomorrow. Trump will never dominate anything.

He didn't mean that. If he meant that, he'd have said that.
Muppet always over exaggerates when it comes to insulting people. No idea why he pretends to be such a tool, as he's a nice guy.

Who didn't know that?
Some Hendry and Selby fans were acting like Barry is a joke. Alot of them also say Ronnie had an easy final against Barry in the worlds.
Clueless people.
Could work for the BBC commentary team.

He's nothing like Stevens.
Trump has won 5 ranking/to be ranking tournaments. In those finals, he beat Mark Allen, Neil Robertson (twice), Mark Selby and Ronnie O'Sullivan. Hardly the mark of a choker.
The problem Trump has is that he's far better against the likes of Selby, Robertson & Sullivan than he is against the likes of Kyren Wilson, Wenbo, Barry Hawkins and Stuart Bingham. If he had more Ronnie about him and played brilliantly against EVERYONE as opposed to just great players, he'd be our current World Champion and already an all-time great. I still trust him to put this right.
Trump has never asked a stranger for spare change

It's perfectly normal for friends to give each other friendly handjobs.
