Judd Trump is best priced 8/13 with the sponsors Betfred to convert his 10-7 overnight lead into victory later today.
John Higgins had been at this juncture in so many important matches and could usually expect to see a stutter at some stage from his opponent. But Trump is so determined to carry on playing in the style that has got him this far. This makes him a dangerous animal and to win I think Higgins needs to take on more pots. Because if he doesn't he knows his opponent will take them on and make lots of them too. But if the Scot can then get level we can expect him to again be more circumspect and try to manage the scoreline.
Ronnie O'Sullivan tweeted yesterday that Trump was the best potter he'd ever seen. No need to doubt the sincerity of the statement because he is and a player that, on the back of Barry Hearn's great work will further raise interest in the game.
Not just simply because he is a great potter but that he whacks it as well. It's no surprise that he has more flukes than anyone else. If you hit them that hard then before they come to rest they can travel a lot further...
