Trump Overcomes Screen Glitch to Set Up Selby Quarter-Final in Shenzhen
Judd Trump reached the last eight of a snooker ranking event for the 113th time in his career after completing a 5-2 win against Si Jiahui at the Shenzhen Open. The world number two compiled breaks of 80, 71, 53, and 54 during the contest.
The match was briefly affected by a technical glitch in the seventh frame when an LED advertising screen directly behind the table flashed bright blue in Trump's line of sight as he potted the yellow ball. Despite visible frustration, Trump regrouped to clear the remaining colours and wrap up the victory.
Quarter-Final Lineup Confirmed
Trump's win sets up a quarter-final against four-time world champion Mark Selby, who made a top break of 99 during a 5-3 win over Stephen Maguire. In other last-16 ties, world champion Wu Yize beat Ricky Walden 5-3 to set up a meeting with Shaun Murphy, who won 5-1 against Elliot Slessor.
Elsewhere, Yuan Sijun beat Zak Surety 5-2, Jimmy Robertson swept Scott Donaldson 5-0, and Chris Wakelin defeated Neil Robertson 5-2. Michael Holt compiled a 126 break during a 5-2 upset over Kyren Wilson to reach his first ranking quarter-final since 2024.
