Judd Trump sent the Shanghai Masters crowd into a frenzy after his stunning trick shot during his 6-5 victory over Jack Lisowski to reach the quarter-finals. Trump did not enjoy a completely comfortable match as snooker returned to China for the first time since 2019 due to Covid-19, but wowed those in attendance during the sixth frame.<\/p>\n
Trump had been leading 3-2 and set to take a two-frame lead having been 108 points clear of his opponent, but found himself in a difficult position on the green. It had been positioned on the other side of the blue, with Trump forced to come off a cushion in order to make contact and afford giving up a snooker – though the frame had already been won.<\/p>\n
But the four-time Triple Crown winner was in the mood to showcase his immense talents, turning on the style by coming off the corner of the right-middle pocket with pace to clip the green and send it into the opposite pocket – sending the Shanghai crowd into raptures as they applauded the stunning trick shot.<\/p>\n
Social media echoed those cheers, as on X (formerly known as Twitter) @CamH_29 described Trump as a \u201cnaughty boy\u201d while @_RachelH1995 wrote that the shot was \u201cunbelievable\u201d.<\/p>\n

I was already thinking about the flight home, but obviously he missed that one. The balls were there but you have to clear up.”<\/p>\n
