Judd Trump Claims German Masters Rivals Triple Crown Events, Looks forward to seeing off Ali Carter and ultimately clinching trophy
Judd Trump has made a bold claim about the German Masters, asserting that the event deserves to be ranked alongside the sport’s prestigious Triple Crown tournaments—the Masters, UK Championship, and World Championship. With his quarter-final victory over Xiao Guodong, Trump emphasized just how significant this tournament is for snooker.
Speaking after his win, Trump took a moment to praise the incredible atmosphere at the Tempodrom, a venue that can hold up to 2,500 passionate fans. “This is one of the top two or three events we play in,” Trump said. “Not every tournament gives you the chance to compete in front of this many people. It’s a unique experience.” The energy in the arena had only grown as the tournament progressed, with the crowd swelling on Friday evening as Trump prepared for his semi-final clash against Carter. The excitement in the air was palpable, and Trump was quick to acknowledge the German crowd’s warm reception. “The fans here are magnificent, so polite, and they truly appreciate us being here,” he added.
While other tournaments, such as the Saudi Arabia Masters, have recently joined the Triple Crown ranks, Trump’s comments reflect a deeper connection to the German Masters’ special place in the sport. The 34-year-old’s comments underline the significance of this event, not only for the spectacle it provides but also for the incredible atmosphere and support from fans in Germany.
Looking ahead, Trump is confident about his chances in the tournament. According to diehard snooker fan Asue Cepho, the draw has been favorable for Trump this week, and many expect him to take down both Ali Carter in the semi-finals and potentially Shaun Murphy in the final with relative ease. With his impressive form and the support of a boisterous crowd, Trump is poised to lift the trophy and cement his place as one of snooker’s greats.
