Judd Trump V Shaun Murphy - 27/04/25 10.00, 27/04/25 19.00 & 28/04/25 13.00
When it comes to break building and putting on a show, today see’s a clash of two of the world’s best as Trump looks to extend his 7-match unbeaten run against Murphy.
Both players have claimed this title once and would desperately love to do so again this year. Murphy comes in slightly under the radar having claimed this years Masters title in January while Trump surged to the UK Championship title.
Both players eased into round 2 with commanding 10-4 defeats over Zhou Yuelong & Daniel Wells with Trump on the cusp of an historic 100 centuries after making 5 against Yuelong.
The left-hander is closing in on a £100,000 bonus as he now sits on 98 for the season, Neil Robertson holds the record with 103 centuries in a season, set in 2013/14, it's an example of how well the Englishman has been scoring of late.
After seeing Kyren Wilson, Mark Selby & Mark Allen all sent home already, both players will know there is a huge opportunity if they can navigate their way through this match.
With Trump dominating the H2H (31-13), Murphy will have to be on top form from the word go but is undoubtedly capable of overturning the world number one.
I feel like it's hard to look past Trump in this one, he'll be eager to make history with the 100 centuries and in doing so will get across the line.
Prediction: 13-10 Trump
