LONDON: Judd Trump sealed his place in his 10th Crucible quarter-final after polishing off Tom Ford in the second round of the World Snooker Championship.
Trump resumed two frames from victory at 11-5 and split the first four frames to seal a 13-7 victory and seal a last-eight slot against either Jak Jones or Si Jiahui.
Despite a 979th career century followed by a break of 84 to get him over the line, Trump described his performance as “average” and admitted he struggled with the conditions of the Crucible table.
“The table was a bit heavy but I think I dealt with it, I wasn’t too harsh with myself and I was able to stay patient,” said Trump.
“I think it was important to get that 6-2 lead in the first session and I just capitalised. From there you shouldn’t really lose it unless you give it away.”
