JUDD Trump has beaten Ronnie O’Sullivan 4-3 in an extraordinary climax to PTC9 at the Lotto Arena, Antwerp.

The whole match took just one and a quarter hours, and contained a minimum break of 50 in every frame except the last.

A rare tactical exchange at the start soon gave way to an attacking O’Sullivan break of 63, which relied on blues with the pink and black out of commission.

A miss on an easy black by O’Sullivan at the start of the next left Trump with the reds in inviting positions, and a run of 68 saw him level the match at 1-1.

The 22-year-old from Bristol, who has already won two tournaments in the PTC series this season, took control of the match with back-to-back breaks of 69, leaving him just one away from victory, with four frames completed in just 42 minutes.

O’Sullivan struck back with a 118 clearance, and he followed it up with a thrilling 132 in the next, with a miss on the final black costing him the highest break of the tournament, but this scarcely mattered as his efforts had levelled the match at 3-3.

The deciding frame was a more tense, tactical affair, in contrast to the high breaks and ambitious long shots that had dominated the match. A high-quality safety battle ended when Trump picked out a long red to start a break of 44, and he soon returned to add a 41, aided by a fluke into the middle pocket on a match-clinching red, to claim the trophy and the €10,000 top prize.

Following his win, Trump said: “It was a good final, but I’d liked to have won it without the fluke on the last red.

“This tournament definitely has one of the best atmospheres I’ve ever seen.”
