World champion Ronnie O'Sullivan was upset by teenager qualifier Judd
Trump at the British Grand Prix in Manchester, losing 5-4 in the quarterfinals
yesterday.
Trump, the world 41 and aged just 19, was 3-2 down at one stage against the
world number one before he launched a memorable comeback.
"There are a lot of dangerous opponents. He's young and he's hungry for
success," said the snooker Rocket.
Trump edged 2-0 ahead before O'Sullivan hit back with breaks of41, 66 and 104
for the lead. But the English teenager pinched the next frame on the final pink
to draw level.
The next two frames were shared, before Trump booked his place in the
semi-finals after O'Sullivan missed a difficult red to a middle pocket.
Ali Carter, last season's beaten world championship finalist, beat four-time
Grand Prix winner Steve Davis 5-3 thanks to breaks of 99 and 90.
