Terrific Trump shocks O'Sullivan

World number one Ronnie O'Sullivan crashed out of the Royal London Watches Grand Prix after losing 5-4 to teenager Judd Trump in a tense quarter-final.

Trump, 19, won the first two frames but O'Sullivan took a 3-2 lead, going in front with a break of 104 in the fifth.

Trump, who will now play John Higgins, levelled on the final pink and while the next two frames were shared, the youngster edged through.

Ali Carter beat Steve Davis 5-3 to progress, while Ryan Day also advanced.

Higgins beat Ding Junhui 5-3 to claim a semi-final against Judd.

Ding took a 2-1 lead but two-time former world champion Higgins levelled with a break of 71.

A frame apiece made it 3-3 but Higgins edged ahead once more before claiming the final frame with a break of 71.

Day lost the first frame against Jamie Cope, but took the next five against his out-of-sorts opponent to progress.

The Welshman, who has yet to win a ranking event, fired in breaks of 129, 112, 85 and 74 to take the last four frames, Cope scoring just 56 points in reply.

Earlier, Trump, who comes from Bristol, put on a fabulous show considering the qualifier was competing in his first quarter-final in a ranking event.

"It feels brilliant to have beaten (O'Sullivan), it's the biggest win of my career by a mile," said Trump, ranked 41 in the world.

"We both struggled, but I went out there to win and I got the job done. I had chances to win 5-3 and I didn't take them, so I was glad I got another chance to win the match."

O'Sullivan, who has complained about his poor form all week, added: "I've not seen a lot of him, but he's obviously dangerous.

"He's young and he's hungry for success, but I don't want to say he's great because he's only young, he's not been on the snooker scene that long."

On his own showing O'Sullivan said: "I can't pot a ball over six foot at the moment, I have to really struggle. I'm awful, but it still doesn't stop me trying."

Having clawed his way back into the contest, Trump blew several chances to claim victory in the eighth frame and his nerves looked likely to hinder his progress.

However, it was the world champion who struggled in the final stages and a missed red to the middle pocket decided the match.

In the other afternoon's quarter-final, Davis and Carter were close to the day's second final frame decider, but Carter's early fluke in the eighth set him up for a match-winning 99.

Davis had started brightly with breaks of 43 and 42 to take the opener, but Carter bounced back to take the next three frames.

Former world champion Davis exhibited his phenomenal safety play in the fifth but Carter just edged it to get within one frame of the finishing line.

Despite a great fightback for Davis to make it 4-3, the Glasgow crowd was denied a dramatic final frame thanks to Carter's lucky red and break to ensure his impressive victory.

O'Sullivan stunned by Trump

Ronnie O'Sullivan crashed out of this year's Royal London Watches Grand Prix after a shock defeat to teenage qualifier Judd Trump.

'The Rocket' went down to a surprise 5-4 loss at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre having let slip a 3-2 lead against his 19-year-old opponent from Bristol.

Trump, the world number 41, might have easily crumbled playing in the first ranking quarter-final of his career, especially against the current world champion and world number one.

But instead the youngster raised his game to clinch the "biggest win of my career" at this year's £502,100 tournament.

"I've not seen a lot of him, but he's obviously dangerous," reflected O'Sullivan, who has complained about his poor form all week.

"He's a very good potter, but they're all great potters these days, there's a lot of dangerous opponents.

"He's young and he's hungry for success, but I don't what to say he's great because he's only young, he's not been on the snooker scene that long.

"You've got to give him another five, six or seven years before you start judging how good he is.

"It's only one performance at the end of the day, he needs to kick on and win the tournament for this win to really matter."

On his own performance, the Chigwell cueman moaned: "I can't pot a ball over six foot at the moment, I have to really struggle. I'm awful, but it still doesn't stop me trying.

"I feel more confident potting balls left-handed than I do right-handed at the moment."

Trump edged 2-0 ahead before O'Sullivan hit back with breaks of 41, 66 and 104 for the lead.

But Trump pinched the next frame on the final pink to draw level.

The next two frames were shared, before Trump booked his place in the semi-finals after O'Sullivan missed a difficult red to a middle pocket.

"Ronnie's probably the best player to have ever played the game. Beating him is massive, it's bigger than beating anyone else," said Trump.

"It feels brilliant to have beaten him, it's the biggest win of my career by a mile.

"We both struggled, but I went out there to win and I got the job done.

"I had chances to win 5-3 and I didn't take them, so I was glad I got another chance to win the match.

"I know I've got the game to win it [the tournament], but I need to work on my break-building because I'm making 40 or 50 and then breaking down every frame.

"I fancy beating anyone on my day, although I haven't played that well to be honest."

Trump Downs Rocket

Teen sensation Judd Trump continued his brilliant run at the Royal London Watches Grand Prix with a 5-4 defeat of Ronnie O'Sullivan in the quarter-finals.

Trump had never previously been beyond the last 32 and was visibly delighted with his biggest scalp to date. "It feels brilliant, we both struggled but I went out there to do a job and I did it. To beat Ronnie on TV is massive for me," said the 19-year-old.

"I fancy beating anyone on my day, if I have a good semi-final I can go on to win this tournament. I need to work on my break building as I'm making 40 or 50 and then breaking down."

A loose safety shot from 888.com World Champion O'Sullivan allowed his teenage opponent a half chance in the opening frame. He made 40 before running out of position but it wasn't long before he got a second chance and he secured the first frame with a run of 23.

Trump had the Rocket in trouble in the second but the World No 1, having taken eight attempts to escape from a couple of snookers, then made 32 before he lost position on the final blue. His attempted safety left the blue hanging over the yellow pocket, which Trump gratefully potted to establish a 2-0 lead.

O'Sullivan finally got on the board in the third frame, clearing to the pink in making a 66. He levelled in the next but it was a real tussle. The Rocket's safety play rescued him on several occasions and despite Trump making a 51, his highest of the match, both players had chances. With the brown near the bottom cushion, the 19-year-old tried a difficult thin cut but left it in the jaws and O'Sullivan dished to the pink.

After the break O'Sullivan hit his stride with a break of a 104. He followed that with a 44 in the next but Trump was given another chance in what proved to be a pivotal frame. On his second visit he cleared to the blue, leaving O'Sullivan requiring a snooker. He got it when the Bristol
potter hit the black trying to swerve round it to the pink. O'Sullivan potted the pink but then somehow failed to pot the black left-handed, leaving the match finely poised at 3-3.

They shared the next two to go a decider and the Bristol potter had several chances before securing the biggest win of his career as he moves into the semi-finals for the first time.

"I didn't play well, I didn't expect to win. I have to keep chipping away but today it ran dry," said O'Sullivan.

"I've not seem a lot of Judd. He's a good long potter, they're all dangerously good. I can't pot a ball over six foot."

Tiptree's Ali Carter saw off the challenge of Steve Davis with a 5-3 victory this afternoon at the SECC. Since reaching the final of the 888.com World Championship, Carter has grown in stature and is now into his third semi-final in the past four ranking events.

"It's nice to have a bit of confidence, it's been a long time coming but it's time to make hay while the sun shines," said Carter.

"I was 4-1 up and in the balls, on 30 odd and I ran out of position and the game turned. Steve bogged me down with safety but I'm pleased to get over the line."

Davis opened in confident style, the 51-year-old had runs of 43 and 42 to claim the first frame.

Carter replied with a 90 in the next frame and added the third, as Davis failed to gain a single point in either frame. He fared better in the last before the break but Carter took the honours to establish a 3-1 lead.

He then moved to within one of victory before Davis mounted a come-back. With his first break over 50 of the tournament, a 66, he reduced his arrears to 4-2. The Nugget then got the better of a scrappy seventh frame to draw within one.

However, a nerveless break of 99 put Carter into his fourth ranking event semi-final.

Day is dynamite


Ryan Day is through to his third ranking event final after a terrific 6-5 victory over Ali Carter.

It was a match of the highest quality, with some superb play by both players. Day had three centuries, Carter two as they battled for a place in the Royal London Watches Grand Prix final.

"Both of us cued fantastically well, I possibly pushed the boat out at 5-2, taking the red on to the green bag and given him a lifeline. After that I was just hoping for a chance," said the 28-year-old.

"Obviously at 5-5 I was pretty close to getting beaten, I didn't feel like I made too many glaring mistakes. The final frame was all about getting a chance.

"The red was a really good shot," said the Welshman referring to his nerves of steel pot in the deciding frame.

The 888.com World Championship runner-up opened with a 107 to start proceedings. Not to be out-done Day hit back with a 120 but had a great opportunity for a maximum. Having potted all 15 reds with blacks he ended the wrong side of the yellow and his attempted double to a middle pocket failed.

Day looked set for another big break in frame three, but he missed the black off it's spot on 62. Carter couldn't take advantage and Day moved in front.

The world No.7 hit back to level at the break with a run of 63.

After the interval, Day continued his rich vein of form. Having seen off Roewe Shanghai Masters Champion, Ricky Walden, Mark Selby and Jamie Cope to reach his first ranking event semi-final in the UK, he compiled his second century of the match, a 104 to edge in front once more.

That became a two frame lead when he took a scrappy sixth frame. Day's dominance continued in frame seven with his third century of the match, this time a run of a 115 put him within a frame of a third ranking event final.

Carter had other ideas and launched a great comeback. From 5-2 down he fought back with breaks of 84 and his second century of the match a 107, starting with a fluked red off the black levelled the match.

The final frame was understandably tense, but this compelling match still had some drame to unfold. With three reds left Day took on a difficult red to the middle pocket which put him touching distance of victory. Carter then left Day with a long yellow, a thin cut into the yellow bag, he confidently dispatched that and followed that with the green to assure him of a place in tomorrow's best of 17 frame final against John Higgins.

"I've got John Higgins in the final, in Glasgow I couldn't ask for a better match than that," said Day.

For Carter who has reached the last four in the Northern Ireland Trophy and here in Glasgow it is proof of his progress.

"I might win a tournament one day. I keep getting to the business end, so someone's got to fall over one day. It was a good game. I can reflect on this tournament as a good one and look forward to the next one.

"I had a couple of chances to win the match in the last frame, but maybe I went for one too many shots. But I was trying to win it, not avoid defeat," said the Tiptree potter.

Higgins Into Glasgow Final


John Higgins is just one match away from winning his first ranking event on Scottish soil following a 6-4 defeat of Judd Trump.

The difference in experience between the two players at this level is huge, the teenager was playing in his first ranking event semi-final, Higgins his 45th.

Higgins has 18 ranking event titles to his name but has not won any of those in Scotland, a fact he could put right in tomorrow's final.

"It was great to finish it off like that, it was like the finish to the Ding match last night. It gave me the confidence going into the last few frames," said the 33-year-old.

"At 4-1 Judd was struggling and I could have gone on to win comfortably. But he can pot them off the lamp shades, he just needs to get used to the TV conditions but he could be a very good player," said Higgins looking forward to his seventh Royal London Watches Grand Prix final.

Higgins looked favourite to take the first frame but missed the yellow with the rest on a break of 38. Trump got amongst the balls but ran out of position on the green having made 40 and had to play safe. After a bout of safety the teenager showed plenty of character to pot a long green and dish to pink to claim the first frame.

Despite missing a frame ball red on 51, Higgins got another chance which he took to level the match at 1-1. Breaks of 65 and 91 ensured he enjoyed a 3-1 lead at the break.

The three-times winner of the Royal London Watches Grand Prix did not relent after the interval, this time a run of 78 secured his fourth frame on the spin to put him within two of victory.

Trump stopped the rot in frame six with a 79 to reduce his deficit. Both players missed simple reds in the next before Trump moved to within one frame of his opponent.

The Bristol potter then upped his game further, he sunk a terrific long red and went on to make his highest break of the tournament, an 80 to draw level.

But at 4-4 he missed an ambitious red which let former World Champion Higgins back to the table, and he made 61 before securing the frame on his second visit. He then booked only his second appearance in a ranking event final in Scotland with a run of 83 in the tenth frame.

Trump has had a great week and will take plenty from his performance. "I just needed a few frames to get going, he started missing and I started putting the pressure on," he said.

"Then he made two big breaks in the last two frames so good luck to him in the final." The Bristol teenager is guaranteed to rise up the rankings as a result of his run to the semi-finals.

Higgins will now have the chance to claim the title in front of his friends and family. "It would be great, I'd dearly love to win it here in Glasgow. When it went 4-4 you could see them trying to spur me on," added the Wishaw cueman.

Day sets up Higgins showdown


Ryan Day beat Ali Carter 6-5 in a tense semi-final to set up a meeting with John Higgins in the final of the Grand Prix in Glasgow.

The Welshman led 5-2 and appeared to be cruising into his third ranking final, before Carter mounted an impressive fightback to force a deciding frame.

Both players were effected by nerves in the enthralling 11th frame, but it was Day who emerged to take victory and give himself a chance to claim a maiden ranking title.

A high quality match began with the players exchanging century breaks in the opening two frames - Day missing a yellow when on for a potential 147 - before each edged gritty victories to see the encounter into the mid-session interval all square at 2-2.

Day came back from the back firing and took the first two frames with clinical finishes, before compiling a fine 115 break to take a commanding 5-2 lead.

Carter refused to go quietly, however, and played with real composure to draw the match level.

But the Englishman was denied a unlikely comeback victory by Day, who capitalised on a mistake from Carter to move into the final.

Higgins tops Trump in Glasgow

Two-times world champion John Higgins beat Judd Trump 6-4 in the semi-finals of the Grand Prix in Glasgow.


He will face either Ryan Day or Ali Carter in the final on Sunday - they play later on Saturday.

Trump, victor over world number one Ronnie O'Sullivan in the last eight, could not match the Scot's defensive game.

However his attacking flair was evident, especially following the interval.

After Higgins had moved 4-1 ahead in the first frame after the break, Trudd came back to 4-4 with unanswered breaks of 79 and 80 either side of a tense, close frame littered with safeties.

A fiddly first frame had gone Trump's way after both players missed chances, but Higgins took control from there.

A solid defensive performance in frame two was followed by a run of 65 in the next, putting him ahead.

The pressure of reaching his first final - from his maiden last-four appearance - looked too great for Trump, who missed an ambitious long red in the next frame and was punished by Higgins with a 91 visit.

A break in the seventies followed after the interval, and it looked as though the match would be over quickly.

However Bristol cueman Trump replied with a break to match that and suddenly found space to compile points, although he enjoyed a bit of luck to move within one frame of Higgins.

The Wizard of Wishaw, suddenly pegged back to 4-4, put on 61 and 34 to go 5-4 up then a brilliant 83 without reply sent his promising 19-year-old opponent crashing out.

""Luckily I had a chance and played well in the last two frames to win the match," reflected Higgins.

"It's really hard to play these young players because they all go for their shots, so it's really pleasing to get through to the final.

"I'll be the favourite now to win the tournament but, whoever I play, it's going to be a tough match."
