Winning is all that matters for Trump

-

SNOOKER: Judd Trump has the world at his feet — and snooker’s top star is hungry for history.

The world No 1 has pocketed a record six ranking titles this season and, if he can successful­ly defend his World Championsh­ip crown in Sheffield later this year, it would be the most successful season in the sport’s history. ‘Winning six events is a real achievemen­t, but if I could win the World Championsh­ip that would probably be the best season of all time,’ revealed Trump. ‘It’s another record to aim at, especially because nobody has ever defended the World Championsh­ip after their first year of winning it. ‘But the pressure just isn’t there for me. I’ve won it before, so I don’t really have anything to lose.’
