He's won the EPTC Paul Hunter Classic tonight and can call himself a ranking champion
Everyone who kept faith in him, this is just the start. Done the business many times in a non-pressure environment but this was a win in a high-quality field with ranking points at stake and he kept his nerve to win ! This should get his confidence right up for the big events later in the season, starting with Shanghai where he'll be one of the favourites to go all the way.
Well done Judd

ProSnookerBlog Pleased to see Judd win, he gets way too much stick from some quarters because he isn't Hendry at 21.

Matt is spot on. He has to be afforded time, players will peak when they're ready, they're not finished just if they don't follow the same or better career pattern than the absolute greats of the game. This is a great start for Judd, something he needed.

no matt is not spot on
nobody least of all me has ever wanted him to be hendry or ronnie at 21 just to show balls and fight for something show what hes made of today is the start of that in my opinion.

It's a good win for Judd and obviously his performances are vastly better than last season. I, for one, think it is related to his change of management as well as to hard work on Judd's part of course.
It might be "only" a minor but Well Done Champ!

Judd has been one of the best players this season so far. Excellent in the PTCs and has easily qualified for the first two ranking events.
Someone I am worried about is Allen who is having an awful season so far and needs a good run in Shanghai to steady his ranking points.

Allen faces Stuart Bingham in Shanghai. It seems Allen has taken a relaxed stance towards the start of the season (extra time off, and not much interest in the PTC), in effect backing himself to hit the ground running (cold). This has not happened and he is now somewhat chasing the pack. He needs a few results in Shanghai to get himself up and running - especially with no World Open for him........

Yes and the Shanghai will be his last full ranking event until December. So an early exit there would be a total disaster for him and would pile the pressure on come the UK championships.

Well it is gonna be tough because its Carter or Harold potentially in R2..................................
No premier league either.........................so Decemeber is a long way away. I think disaster is about the right word in these circumstances. I bet he is fuming with the World Open situation.

I think he is, no doubt as one of the younger stars he is disappointed at having to qualify for the World Open. It looks like he will miss out of the finals on the PTC also, his ranking will suffer although I would expect him to stay in the top 16.
Its disappointing because I am sure he would have wanted to move up into the top 8 and push for top 4.
A tough draw in Shanghai awaits and a QF minimum is needed for confidence
