When it comes to Trump's remarks, it inevitably reminds people of the old saying: "The price of success is loneliness." With 30 ranking tournament championships and the miracle of six titles in a single season, such dazzling achievements have only brought a sigh. This "golden boy" in the snooker world actually claims to be severely underestimated, which is really sighing. Let's take an analogy. Trump is like a singer in the fan circle whose strength and popularity are not proportional. First-class technology, outstanding works, but just a little short of "heat". At the age of 35, he has stood at the pinnacle of snooker, but in his view, he seems to have become an "invisible champion". Taste Trump's remarks carefully, and between the lines reveals a strong sense of helplessness and grievance. The myth of six titles in a single season has been forgotten, the seven consecutive victories against Wilson have been ignored, and even those high-quality achievements seem to have been covered with a layer of dust. This makes people can't help asking: Is it that the snooker world is too "forgetful", or is Trump too "sensitive"? Interestingly, while Trump complains about being underestimated, he is also setting new goals for himself - to win the super grand slam. Where is this person who is underestimated? It is clearly a master of "pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger". Just like the boss of the restaurant who keeps talking about "bad business" every day, he turns around and opens a chain store. However, to put it another…

Oh, family members, our pillar of Chinese snooker, Ding Junhui, has been in a real state of urgency recently! In the 2024 Macau exhibition match, he met his old opponent Trump again, and the result was a crushing defeat of 1-5! This loss is so clean and neat that it makes me shake my head. Trump, that guy, is now the world's number one, with a fiery state like a rocket, and he gave Ding Junhui a blow as soon as he came up. In the first game, he directly hit 85 points, as relaxed as walking in his own backyard. Ding Junhui couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all, and could only stare blankly. In the second game, Trump continued to exert force, scoring 77 points and winning again! This cue technique is as precise as if he had turned on the aiming mirror, making people dizzy. Ding Junhui still had no power to fight back, feeling like he had fallen into a spider web, the more he struggled, the more powerless he became. In the third game, Trump made another move, scoring 50 points for three consecutive victories! The rhythm of this game was completely controlled by him, and Ding Junhui didn't even have the chance to catch his breath. Honestly, watching Ding Junhui's state really makes people worried. By the fourth game, it got even more exciting! Trump almost scored 147 points, just a little bit short! If it had succeeded, it would have been recorded in history! Although it didn't happen, this momentum and strength,…

According to the latest news from the British Metro on January 15, 2025, world number one Judd Trump has expressed in an interview that he feels his remarkable achievements in snooker have not received the recognition and respect they deserve, and that he is now less valued than ever before. At the age of 35, Trump has won 30 ranking titles, with only three players - O'Sullivan, Hendry, and Higgins - having better records than him. Despite receiving high praise, Trump does not believe he has been given the credit he deserves. He also thinks that his record of six titles in a single season is a difficult feat to surpass, yet people seem to have forgotten this accomplishment. Trump believes his achievements are clearly undervalued, despite many snooker legends giving him high evaluations. When asked if he feels underrated, Trump said, "I feel more underrated now than ever before. At my age, I've won many championships and achieved a lot on the tour. The achievement of winning six ranking titles in a single season seems to have been somewhat forgotten." "I think it's a very difficult record to break. I've won four, five, or six titles in a single season in a row. I'm very proud of what I've achieved. I don't need others to tell me how great it is, but I want people to recognize that it's good." "This may be something that happens after you retire. It seems to be the same in every sport; until your career ends, you won't receive appreciation, or people won't…

On January 14, 2025, the Snooker Masters continued with all five members of the "80s Tigers" advancing to the quarter-finals without any dropouts. At the same time, Ding Junhui's second-round opponent was revealed as Judd Trump, who defeated Barry Hawkins 6-1 to compete against the Chinese star for a semi-final spot, setting the stage for another peak confrontation. The 35-year-old Trump is the cream of the crop among post-80s players, ranked No. 1 in the world. He has won 30 ranking titles and 5 major titles (1 World Championship, 2 UK Championships, 2 Masters). Although his major tournament results are not as impressive as those of Selby and Robertson, in terms of championship numbers, Trump is undoubtedly the top player of his peers. Moreover, he is currently at the peak of his career, winning titles every year. His opponent is the 45-year-old Hawkins, ranked No. 12 in the world, who has won four ranking titles in his career, with the best result in the three major events being runner-up. As a frequent semi-finalist, Hawkins' results are very stable; it's just that he always falls short at critical moments. Last year, Trump and Hawkins competed for the UK Championship title, with Trump winning the final 10-8. Looking at their playing styles, Hawkins is quite balanced without any obvious weaknesses. After the match began, both sides made mistakes in the first game, with no state and low long-range success rates. Trump took the lead several times and started with a score of 59-14. In the second game, Hawkins missed a shot, and…

In the recently concluded first round of the Snooker Masters, Ding Junhui narrowly defeated Williams with a slim margin of 6-5. This victory not only showcased his abilities in a critical moment but also bolstered his confidence for future important events. However, it is noteworthy that Ding mentioned a sense of "侥幸" (lucky) victory in his post-match interview, reflecting his psychological changes and deep contemplation of his own state during this high-pressure confrontation. During the crucial moments of the match, Ding found himself trailing 4-5, facing immense pressure and challenges. At that time, he did not overly consider winning or losing but instead focused on his technique and mindset. As he stated, he has been watching videos of his younger self playing, trying to recapture that feeling of fluidity and ease. This process of self-reflection is often overlooked by many athletes when facing tough times. Ding's approach undoubtedly provided him with psychological support, allowing him to remain calm under pressure. In the final stages of the game, Ding's performance was commendable yet filled with twists and turns. He made mistakes on several difficult red balls but managed to avoid giving his opponent any opportunities each time. This was not just a competition of skill but also a battle of psychology. Although Williams had the lead at one point, his few critical errors cost him the chance to secure the win. Ding's lucky moment came when he seized the opportunity during his opponent's mistake and successfully overtook. In the post-match interview, Ding admitted that there was still an element of luck…
