QUALIFIER Jak Jones produced one of the biggest shocks in World Championship history to end Judd Trump’s hopes of Crucible glory.
The world No 44 – playing in only his fourth ranking event quarter-final after first turning professional in 2010 – was a huge underdog in Sheffield, but beat the 2019 world champion 13-9. It guaranteed Welsh potter Jones, 30, at least £100,000 – the biggest pay day of his career – and a semi-final on Thursday against the winner of Ronnie O’Sullivan or Stuart Bingham.
It was tough, very tired, quite flat. But it's the same for both players and Jak dealt with it a lot better than I did. “I didn’t sleep very well last night and today I missed too many easy balls. I just need to get in and clear up every time, and I didn’t do that. If you are potting your balls it doesn’t matter how quick your opponent is playing. “In my eyes has been very successful.
