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.

"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…
