Judd Trump has once again underlined his status as one of snooker’s modern greats, producing a commanding display to defeat the current world champion 6–2 and book his place in yet another major final. In a match that was expected to be far closer, Trump’s blend of heavy scoring, tactical precision, and unshakeable composure proved far too much for his decorated opponent, sending a clear message to whichever challenger awaits him in the final—whether it be Mark Selby or Neil Robertson.

From the very first frame, Trump appeared determined to seize control. He settled quickly, striking the cue ball crisply and imposing himself with characteristic swagger. A pair of early half-centuries set the tone, and although the world champion responded with a brilliantly controlled clearance in the third frame, the momentum never truly shifted away from Trump. His long-potting, a hallmark of his game since his breakout years, was razor sharp throughout the session, repeatedly putting his opponent under severe pressure.

Perhaps most impressive was Trump’s tactical discipline. Known primarily for his flair and fearless attacking instincts, he showed the maturity and versatility that have transformed him from a mercurial talent into a serial title winner. Whenever the balls became scrappy or required patience, Trump was more than happy to engage in the safety exchanges, often coming out the stronger and forcing errors that he punished clinically.

By the mid-session interval, Trump held a comfortable lead, and despite isolated flashes of brilliance from the world champion, the gap only widened. The pivotal moment came in the seventh frame: leading 4–2, Trump capitalised on a rare safety misjudgment and compiled a beautifully constructed break that effectively extinguished any chance of a comeback. Minutes later, a final contribution of 80 secured the match 6–2 and sent the crowd into rapturous applause.

Attention now turns to the final, where Trump will face either Mark Selby or Neil Robertson—two of the most formidable competitors on the professional circuit. A clash with Selby would promise a tactical chess match of the highest order, pitting Trump’s pace and creativity against Selby’s granite-like safety and mental resilience. A meeting with Robertson, meanwhile, would deliver a high-octane battle between two of the sport’s most fluent scorers, both capable of blowing opponents away with sustained bursts of heavy breaks.

Whichever opponent emerges, Trump will enter the final as the man in form. His performance in the semifinal was not simply a victory; it was a statement—one that underscores why he remains one of snooker’s most feared and admired players. As he edges closer to adding another prestigious trophy to his already glittering résumé, fans can expect a thrilling finale featuring one of the game’s true modern giants at the peak of his powers.
