Day 8, Part 4 Snooker: World Championship

We used to call him Craft Ken. He knows the game inside out. A

terrific opening red from Judd Trump. He missed a few of those

this morning. He pots so many good balls. A couple of years ago, I

have never seen anybody pot balls like he did. He has overdone that.

That was a mistake. But he has not left anything. Not easy from that

position. Is Marco lining up a double? Look where the white has

gone. That is an unusual shot he has played. I never played a double

in an exhibition match. A chance What is the outcome? The blue and

pink are safe. He moved everything but the front row. It is a good

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 61 seconds

He will probably play for the red It does not matter where you pot

the black from. He is up into the 90s again with his pot success rate.

Just watch the action on the cue A great chance to open up a four

frame advantage again. Worrying signs now for Marco. The balls were

not on here, really. And all of a sudden he just pots them all over

the place. The frame is gone within That is the frame safe. This would

be his sixth century. That is beautifully played. There for the

Judd can blow in like a tornado. He is a tremendous player to watch.

And of course the speed of it all. He does miss sometimes, but not

very often. This is what punters want to see. Judd Trump in full

flow. And he is great to watch. He has got such an array of shots. And

he is so quick. The frame is over in about five minutes. He has got

so much cue power and his potting ability is just fantastic. When you

score quickly it can put you out of your rhythm. It puts pressure on

you. And when you're playing someone like Judd Trump what you

cannot do is give him opportunities. Marco Fu is one of the top save two

players in the world. But just look at this shot. He was not too

careful with the cue ball. And it is framed over. We were talking

about the power that chap Trump gets on the cue ball. He times it

so well. He generates such power. He probably is one of the best

potters ever to play the game. And he always likes to entertain, to

express himself. And that is what the crowd love to see. I spoke to

Dennis earlier and I said if you're playing well and you are just Trump

and the big names come tumbling out of the world championship, that

must give you a huge boost. Absolutely. He is in the top half.

Still in with the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan. He will not be too

worried. Just worrying about his match and getting into the next

round. That was a pretty poor break off

shot from Judd. He seemed to just lose concentration. That is a plant.

No blue on its spot but the pink looks pottable. He can get onto the

black in a couple of shots. Now the pink goes onto the black spot. He

does not have the angle. There is That must have drifted, it could be

Just lost a little bit of timing, has Marco. He has lost both frames

He has got a bit of a kick there I think. It seemed to go straight.

This is a bit tricky. Not tricky He has held the spot. Up onto the

blue spot. He is so exciting to watch. So unorthodox with his shot

selection. He splits the pack like He has been world number one. He is

No need to play the cannon, just roll the black in. Once again, it

has not taken long and the frame is almost over. Just coming up to the

Firmly in the driving seat now. You cannot say Marco has played

badly. It is just that Trump is so good. This morning when he made

those three breaks, he looked in great form. But Judd is back on top

Another Judd Trump special coming up? Somehow Marco needs to get

three reds, three blacks, and then A little bit of noise from the

other side. They are in between frames there. Judd would be a great

player if he could learn to screw the ball back! The white stops and

then picks up speed as he screws it Good cue ball as well. Pink on a

Looking to see if he can take a blue rather than needing blacks. He

is unlucky if the red has come across. And it has. That is the end

of frame now. Marco Fu has his back firmly against the wall. He would

have to win all remaining frames. He signalled to the Raphoe reach.

And Judd Trump takes another frame. -- the referee. The cue power of

this play it generates is quite Look how he got through that. He is

hitting down at 6 o'clock. It stops and then just keeps on spinning.

Then that ball just carried on. Just the one friend needed. Marco

Fu, he did win three frames in a row. He just has to give it his

best shot. He has been knocked about a bit out there. That long

putt from Judd Trump to get that break, his long potting is like the

trigger that fires the line to Marco breaks off, the last frame

before the midsession interval. Will we have a midsession interval,

that is the question. Maybe not. He plays that shot as good as anybody

in the game. Immediately he gives I like the way he approaches the

game. He walks around the table, very confident. He has got a

presence out there which is unusual for somebody so young. He frightens

his opponent. He looks as if he is saying, I am going to go for them

and if I get them, you will have to play very well to beat me. That was

a total lapse in concentration A kinky played a cannon into the

pink there to hold for the red. -- He misjudged that. Just different

He might just be able to get past Talking about a thin ball wizard! I

That is a pretty good safety shot from Marco. His hopes are slender

So Judd Trump close to sealing again in a quarter finals. If you

press your red button you can continue to watch this match and
