By IANS News April 22, 2026 • 11:28 AM View: 149

World Snooker Championship: World number one Judd Trump won five of the last six frames to surge to a comfortable 10-5 win over Gary Wilson at the World Snooker Championship.

The 31-time ranking event winner is aiming to capture snooker's biggest prize for just the second time in his career, having beaten John Higgins in the 2019 title match.

Trump held a 5-4 advantage coming into this evening's session, having rallied from 4-1 down this morning. Wilson crafted contributions of 58 and 33 in the opener to regain parity, but Trump responded by taking two on the bounce to open up a 7-5 cushion. He continued his momentum in the next, making 71 to lead 8-5 at the mid-session.
