Judd Trump vs Mark Williams | 2026 Players Championship Snooker - Part 9
Transcript
00:00His way into a clash with John Higgins in the semi-finals
00:44Even that was a pretty good safety shot
00:46Swing it around the angles to get back there
00:50I feel that there could still be some mileage in this match yet
00:53I don't think it's a simple equation of just
00:57It's over now because Trump's done all the hard work
01:01I think he's got a bit more to do to win it
01:03Williams is not giving up
01:53Beautifully played, but is it touching ball?
01:56It's a chamber
01:56It is, and that's kind of in Trump's favour
01:59Because he hasn't got to hit a red now
02:03Because he's deemed to have already done so
02:05Because it's touching
02:06So he can play away
02:09You could argue get the cue ball into a similar place
02:12To where it was on Mark Williams' previous shot
02:24Thank you
02:52I popped the red, but I'm not sure
03:22I'll look back in front of him
03:53This is a whole lot of trouble.
04:01Now, you might not think that ran true.
04:04Has he left anything?
04:05Is there a red to the left corner?
04:14Makes a lot of differences if this does go.
04:17Not so sure it will.
04:20Maybe with a little trace of...
04:22If he could get to the ball, he could play it with a trace of side, maybe.
04:27No one's saying it's easy.
04:30But with the black going to the opposite corner, it might be worth the risk.
04:51One.
04:51One.
04:54This is a very good shot to play it with a little bit of stun.
04:57That makes the slight swerve more difficult playing it with Stan.
05:01You've done well there.
05:15Eight.
05:21Nine.
05:3716.
05:5017.
05:51What a chance this is to get a match one before it gets too nervy or twitchy.
06:3024.
06:35A little grimace.
06:36Is he okay?
06:37Is he on a red?
06:38No, the red he's on.
06:39He's not the one he wants to be on.
06:41He's playing this right-handed red.
06:42This one, just below the pink.
06:47Played it nicely though.
06:48It's a good shot with his opposite hand.
07:1130.
07:2731.
07:29It can always happen on that shot.
07:31You play the cannon, you don't know what's going to happen to the red that you cannon into.
07:36Now, it may not be so bad if he can pop this pink and get on one of the reds
07:40below it.
07:45That's a good shot to hold.
07:48Yes, the blackmail bit might be out of commission, but actually that may be more of a problem for his
07:53opponent further down the line than him.
07:57If he can keep potting reds and colours here.
08:0438.
08:05It'll be a pink to middle again and, once again, the Judd Trump way of going is,
08:12the brain of Snooker is sometimes to just keep the break alive somehow.
08:19Without ever looking like you're really in amongst them.
08:2744.
08:2944.
08:4045.
08:4244.
08:57Now, it's been outstanding, this…
09:0050.
09:0050.
09:1251.
09:21Just trickled a little out of position there with the cue ball.
09:26Now he might have put the blue into the corner pocket rather than the middle pocket.
09:4256.
09:46No problem.
09:48And all of a sudden the safe reds are becoming more of a problem,
09:50as I said earlier, for Mark Williams should he come back to the table.
09:55He's going to need them all.
09:5657.
09:58The point now where he needs a red in the colour following this pink.
10:02And the match is his.
10:13Beautiful.
10:1763.
10:2863.
10:29Well, this has been an outstanding way to win the match.
10:33And I think that's what's going to happen.
10:35I feel that he'll win the match here.
10:41That's match ball, but another red will absolutely clinch it.
10:4870.
10:49I think Mark Williams has played some good stuff tonight.
10:53Started with a total clearance, then he had another century.
10:5671.
11:01But the all-round brilliance of Judd Trump is enough to get him through.
11:08And now he's freed the black.
11:1177.
11:11It's a question of how many he makes.
11:1778.
11:1888.
11:2985.
11:3586.
11:4993.
11:50It'd be nice to think he could finish with a century.
11:56I think this is best I've seen him play for quite a while.
11:59I know he won in Germany, but I think tonight he's been pushed.
12:02And he's overwhelmed Williams, really, with his tough match play.
12:09What a break that is.
12:10What a break.
12:14101.
12:22102.
12:35He's played it with all kinds of side.
12:38Right hand side, lots of it.
12:40Laurie loads of it.
12:41109.
12:48This really has been a special break.
12:50111.
12:52And a very enjoyable match, has to be said.
13:00how well
13:01140
13:13180
13:26123
13:28Well, that's good in as well. Can you believe it?
13:34Do you love?
13:43Terrific game of snooker Mark Williams. It couldn't take any more could he he played brilliantly
13:48He said nice words at the end, but it's absolutely no doubt judge Trump was
