Too strong! 2-0 start, 4-0 surge, 6-3: World No. 2 completely defeats World No. 1 Trump
Beijing time January 19th news, the 2025 snooker Masters continued. In the second semi-final that just ended, the world's second "Brother K" Karen Wilson was in excellent form and defeated the world's first "Accuracy King" Judd Trump 6-3, advancing to the final of this year's Masters with a strong momentum, one step away from the championship.
The Snooker Masters is one of the three major events in snooker, an event that all players attach great importance to. In this competition, the world's first "Accuracy King" Judd Trump and the world's second "Brother K" Karen Wilson led the charge, and they also proved their world rankings were not undeserved with outstanding performances.
In the first round, "Brother K" Wilson eliminated Zhang Anda, the national championship winner, 6-4, and started his championship journey in a strong manner. In the same round, "Accuracy King" Trump faced Barry Hawkins, a famous player who recently won the runner-up at the UK Championship.
In this match against Hawkins, the world's first showed his strength and domineering, scoring three 50+ (59 points, 60 points, 56 points) in the first five innings, winning five consecutive games to take a huge lead of 5-0 and win five match points, directly forcing Hawkins into a desperate situation.
In a very difficult situation, although Hawkins saved a match point with a single 50+ in the sixth inning, it was difficult to stop Trump's progress. After the world's first broke the century mark, "Master Huo" suffered a "one-round tour" with a score of 1-6.
Not long ago in the UK Championship final, Hawkins lost 8-10 to Trump and missed the championship. If the last loss was extremely regrettable, then this loss left nothing to be regretted, because he simply had no chance to win.
In the next quarter-finals, Trump, after starting with a disadvantage of 1-3 against Ding Junhui, won five consecutive games to reverse and advance with a total score of 6-3. In the same round, Wilson defeated Brecel, another 90s world champion, 6-4. In the semi-finals, Wilson and Trump staged a battle between kings. In this game, Wilson unleashed his firepower, defeating and advancing to the final with a total score of 6-3, with the Masters championship trophy in sight!
