JUDD TRUMP’S hopes of landing a second World Snooker Championship title were shattered by qualifier Jak Jones today in a major quarter-final upset at the Crucible.

Jones, the world number 44, capitalised on an error-strewn display by the 2019 champion to turn an 8-8 overnight tie into a 13-9 win and reach the last four for the first time.

Trump offered no excuses after being lured into a war of attrition by his opponent, who is ranked second slowest of those who booked a place in this year’s tournament proper.
