INCREDIBLE UPSET! 🤯 | Jak Jones vs Judd Trump | 2024 World Snooker Championship Highlights 

I think that fact is exactly why Judd seems to struggle in Triple Crowns. He's aware of that fact more than anyone else, and the more he goes without winning his second world title, the more pressure there will be on him to not be a Crucible one-hit-wonder.

Judd already improved tactically, about five years ago. He's one of the best in the world with that right now. Beat Selby in tactics twice this season: UK + WGP. That's when he's playing good of course, not today. Only thing he really need to improve is his mentality.

Jones seems to have a very specific way of playing these type of players that breaks their rhythm. It's very effective, but he isn't the best watch. He's a proper good player though.

You’re missing the point. Judd is the past, Jak is the future.

@@medved5925 can't play tactics from your chair though...

@Dave1507. That should be on a t - shirt! Ha - ain’t it the truth!

Definitely, he knows Trump is out , but up to Ronnie now .

I agree, if he plays close to his best he will win his 8th with flying colours.

He doesn't need to.

He'll lose to Bingham

@@CHEESYhairyGASH probably will . Bingham is playing great ..: Ronnie not able to get ahead

When you translate your comment to english the Welsh flag changes to the st George's cross lol

@@poochie81 😂 I am now boycotting translate.

@@TranscendentalDentist 😂

Why make this nationalistic? Never talk about O'S or Selby or Trump "making England proud"!

@@stephenreeds3632 nothing wrong with being nationalistic, lighten up.

Jak is exactly the kind of player who will cause Ronnie issues. From what I seen yesterday, I don't think Ronnie is actually playing well enough currently to win the tournament but he does have a way of grinding through matches also. Very hard to know.

Exactly Bingham plays best when he’s the underdog

@@paulmallon9292 He's playing well enough to progress so far, but the matches don't get easier from now on, so let's see if he can step it up a notch if and when he needs to.

@@Dave1507 absolutely. Don't get me wrong at all. You'd still fancy Ronnie if he moves through the gears. But Bingham is pushing him here.

Well called mate!

honestly jak had some luck today too. he's good but despite winning, i still enjoyed judd's play. i know he made mistakes but his good shots were nice

Agreed Judd was poor the entire match,but Jones had the rub of the green a lot more than a lacklustre Trump,Bingham I feel will show the Taff the door with maybe a 17-11 win…

Because he loses it between the ears.

Not a chance

Common sense would dictate that he has an equal chance along with everyone else who hasn't been knocked out 🤦‍♂️​@@nicalev

Title *

@@castortroy6588 I from Germany, we say Titel in German -:)

OVER AND OUT.

Did not play great?

😂😂😂 really. You been let out on day release?

@@Carl-vl1ne Yeh really, talks himself up so much, then after the match, he can only blame JJ slow play and the table, but Jimmy and Alan put him in his place.

@@iain8837 I think that’s a way of him trying not to blame the table to much with the current speculations of the worlds moving to a more modern venue

Old audience.

Because of the damp. The tables have been playing very slow and very heavy. Which is one of the reasons why Judd and Ronnie have been below par. They are used to working the white around the cloth. In almost perfect conditions. This year there is a clear issue. The amount of kicks been had when only one player is using triangle chalk is suspect. It is purely playing conditions. No excuse for Judd obviously as it’s the same for all the players. But Judd clearly wasn’t comfortable.

​@@Carl-vl1neIm glad I'm not the only one saying this. All the top players have struggled as the cloth and cushions seem very sluggish. I think it's put them out of stride allowing the lower ranked players to scrap out frames thst they would normally have not had a look in at. Ronnie seems to have handled it better than Trump and Allen but it's taken him a while. I've never seen so many players stood looking bewildered after so many shots come 2 feet short.

@@Dystopianutopiabuilds yes the main tv tables normally play very well in tournaments. The arena lighting. The heated table. Positioning of the actual tables central to most of the venues. The lower ranked players don’t often play on these tables. They play on the back tables and side tables. Where the conditions may not be quite the same. They are usually better at slogging the scrappy frames out. The table fitters changed the cushions after the first round matches. Because they also noticed how the tables were playing. Steve Davis made comment on the tables. Dominic dale mentioned the amount of bad bounces and kicks. Ronnie even complained at a kick he got. Which could have been down to him using triangle chalk, or maybe the deadness of the cloth. Whenever trump was missing he was mostly missing thick. And the object ball was jumping as it skated over the cloth. A damn cloth creates more friction. Which explains the slow feel. Explains the kicks. The bad bounces. Pots squaring up. Some of the pack splits been dull. And then with all the coughing in the audience aswell. It just makes my point even more valid.

@@Carl-vl1ne Im only maybe 15 miles from the crucible and it's been absurdly rainy here even for England. I wonder if the venue being old and all the wet weather is having an effect on the cloth and how it's playing as I don't know what if any of the modern climate control facilities the crucible has. I also wonder if they have gone too tight on the cushions as last years championship there was a lot of talk about the pockets bieng too wide. The bottom corners I've seen more misses from players that very rarely miss. The same with the middle pockets as well, I think they may have over compensated. We can hope that when it goes to a single table over night the table fitters can address the issues for that semis and final.

Behave yourself. Stephen Lee struggled to win tourneys. And turned to cheating to pay his way. If you are insinuating that trump has thrown that game you clearly haven’t seen the last 5 years of judds games.

Rankings have meant nothing so far. Ronnie needs to up his game or it won't be an 8th title this year.

Everyone thought a semi-final between Trump and O'sullivan was a shoo in. well that's now not going to happen and after their first session i would give Ronnie only about an average chance of beating Bingham.

​@@TranscendentalDentist he'll play his best now, that's for sure. Now, when only one who could stop him even at his best is out. Kyren and David playing better than him so far, but if Ronnie will play as he played in eight finals he was before, I don't think they can compete. And for sure not this Jones the one who can. He played shit, won just because Trump played worse than shit.

@@medved5925 I'm hoping Bingham beats him now just to see you eat your words. 😂

@@zbigniewczaykowski514 Nice bit of sportsmanship by Ronnie, but you're right. Maybe the pressure of an 8th world title is getting to Ronnie.

Ronnie has been worse than Trump. Bit disrespectful to others saying it’s his to lose

And Higgins.

@@RonniePickeringMate no one ever has been worse than Trump today.

@@RonniePickeringMate Ronnie knows how to win though and grind out games even if he's playing bad. We'll see but Judd going out does make him favourite

@@RonniePickeringMate Ronnie knows how to win though and grind out games even if he's playing bad. We'll see but Judd going out does make him favourite

Jak too!

@@Carl-vl1ne ok Jak, I just wrote it, was half a sleep

No chance.

​@@stephenreeds3632 Still no chance?

That's how I feel when Ken Doherty is commentating on BBC. He never shuts up, yet never manages to say anything insightful.

He had a bad day at the office, but don't let that stop you knocking the number 2 ranked player in the world.

He's in the toilet crying with Ronnie's fan boys.

He won't do it. Trump never put him under any pressure he just lay down. That's why he will underachieve.

He's still young enough but will be more desperate every year. Look at Neil Robertson and the promise he had after his first title 14 years ago, he's been nowhere near since , didn't even make the crucible this year and will be 43 at next year's championship and probably destined to remain a 1 time world champion.

With Ronnie’s current form I’d have Jak Jones favourite 🙈

​@@RonniePickeringMate naaaah

Thé thing with Ronnie is that he could change his game in a span of 2 3 frames. He could be brilliant and could run away with matches.Also,he s B and C games are strong...he always has a chance in long format matches.Let s see his losses here after 2011 ,and in general. He wasn t blown off the table like,never.He could lose, but he Had excruciating losses 80% of thé time. So 14-18 tout Selby (we know that story)...9-13 to Bingham (after 8-8 in thé first 2 sessions)...12-13 to Hawkins after he went down 8 or 9 to 12...10-13 to Ding after 2 close sessions...9-13 to Ali Carter...8-10 to James Cahill where he played like sht...12-13 to McGill ...and 10-13 to Brecel when he went on a losing steak of ...7 games,having led 10-6.So his matches are very very close when he loses. This being said, i don t think that of he goes to semis he will lose this title.His weaknesses are thé second and 3rd round.If he beats Bingham,is his to take, in thé best of 33 and 35 he s hard to stop
