Ace of the pack

Judd Trump claimed his third title this season by claiming the silver claret jug at the Grand Prix in Cheltenham last night. His victory over Ali Carter with a 10-6 win proved his emense talent in this sport. With the help of his brother, his coach Jango, his parents and ditching his girlfriend, Judd has shown that perseverance does work when a player is searching for titles.

Ali Carter showed flickers of form but couldn’t adjust to the final atmosphere, having been out of the limelight for sometime. He was unable to match Judd’s safety play and long ball potting.His constant miss of easy pots meant that his opponent was able to pounce on his weaknesses. Carter tried to reduce his deficit but Judd was able to use his game to change gears and amass a sizeable lead, a mountain that Ali couldn’t climb even with his potting boots on.

So with Cheltenham done and dusted, World Snooker now moves to Wales with the start of the Welsh Ipen in Cardiff. Judd will join Ronnie and others to compete for the illustrious Ray Reardon trophy.
