Judd Trump told BBC Sport that It was unbelievable “really”. He last claimed this title in 2019, told BBC Sport while adding that he was “completely out-played”. Trump noted that he quit when I was down 8–7 while he ought to have lost this one and been eliminated in the first and second rounds. I resemble a cat.
Judd Trump said he believed that the way he played this past week was his best effort to persevere and win this. He emphasised “I was performing poorly. Balls above the pockets were a mile away from me. He added, "The length of Mark's pot was incredible. He placed so much pressure on me. This is by far my finest victory ever because I was never able to get two behind."
