World No 1 made three centuries to see off Ding Junhui
All seven first-round games so far have ended 6-2
The world No 1 Judd Trump made three centuries as he saw off Ding Junhui 6-2 to move into the quarter-finals of the Masters at Alexandra Palace in London. All seven matches played so far at this year’s tournament have now ended in the same score.
After edging a lengthy first frame, Trump – who was not able to lift any silverware in 2025 – crafted a fine break of 116 which was followed with a break of 69 to open up an early 3-0 lead.
Ding, who won the prestigious event in 2011, reduced the deficit heading into the mid-session interval after a break of 98, and another 53 helped him come from behind to close out the next.
