Judd Trump

Judd Trump: 5.3

Provisional World Ranking: 2

Masters form 2008-12: -/WC/-/-/S

Now Ronnie O'Sullivan has exited the stage, snooker's 'next big thing' is firmly installed as the pre-tournament favourite, despite completely failing to justify expectations in the last two majors. At York, Trump was humbled by journeyman outsider Mark Joyce while Ali Carter halted his World Championship bid in the second round. Both defeats illustrated Trump's inexperience and the perils involved with backing short-priced favourites, but equally his wider recent record is not to be sniffed at. In the last 21 months, the Juddernaut has risen from well outside the top-16 to land six ranking titles, including a UK Championship and lost a World Championship final. Already this season, Trump has made four finals, winning twice. With bags of improvement left to come, world domination is pending.
