Judd Trump v John Higgins

Re: Betfred.Com World Championship The Final Day 1 Discussio

Postby Caledonian Craig

Should be a classic. It is also a final that could usher in a new era of dominance as if Judd Trump wins it could set him on his way to be a multiple world champion as he'd already have the scalp of modern day legend John Higgins on the biggest stage - a massive psychological step forward for him. A win for John Higgins would put him out there alone on four world titles in the modern era which would be a massive achievement. Close to call and it depends how the frames pan out but I have a sneaky feeling Judd Trump is destined to win. He has potted superbly and I have been impressed by all facets of his game whilst John Higgins hasn't looked as bullet proof as he has in the past missing shots you don't expect him to miss. He'll need to cut that out in the final and his safety be top drawer otherwise Trump will have a field day. Either way it should be enthralling.

I think it will be a great match. Bring it on!


Hopefully so! I hope Judd can take it and be the new light in snooker. Monday could pave the way for a new style of snooker.

Agreed.

Judd Trump winning the world championship would be the French revolution of snooker.

Without a doubt yes. Its been so similar especially that he has managed to win the big frames with big breaks. I think he will have a lull during the final like Murphy did in the second session but will come out blazing going into the final session.

However he hasn't played someone who has been willing to play a lot of safety so far in this event so it will be interesting to see how Higgins approaches the final.

No way. I am not a Murphy fan in the slightest but he was incredible that year. If you look back over his matches against Higgins and Ebdon, every time he was under pressure he would knock in a 100+ break.

Well Judd Trump is just unbelievable.

He was in the last 16 ONCE in the last two seasons up until the China Open. Now he is about to tear down the old snooker order. He's taking the game in the 10s. In the 80s it was Davis, in the 90s it was Hendry, in the 00s it were the great Three and now Judd Trump could be that someone who came through with a bang.

Great for snooker.

The thing with Trump is he seems to be more interested in becoming a celebrity than the snooker and its just that the snookers there to help him do it. I think he won't put himself under much pressure because it doesn't seem to mean as much as maybe Ding.

Re: Betfred.Com World Championship The Final Day 1 Discussio

i think higgins would rather face trump as ding did beat john in that uk final and ding has played in multiple major finals

Where as trump has only played 1 china

and a major finals are different to a normal ranking final

I have decided to give him a2 nd chance along time ago after realising my original thoughts were immature and pathetic and why bother having bittnerness towards people

so i decided john desevres a 2nd chance

Ronnie has had 50 chances. He should have received a life ban long ago if John received a 6 month ban for basically nothing.

John will shove it in the jealous Ronnie fanboy and hatahs faces when he lifts the trophy on Monday afternoon or night.
