Judd Trump

World Snooker hosted it's inaugural awards ceremony at the Dorchester Hotel, London today in support of the killing cancer charity. Many awards were given out on the night but the big one; the World Snooker player of the year went to the UK, Welsh and World Champion; John Higgins!

At this year's Betfred.com World Snooker Championship the BBC enjoyed it's greatest TV ratings for a Snooker event  in the past five years. And in China the semi-final match between Ding Junhui and Judd Trump was the highest rated sports programme of 2011 to date.

John Higgins came from 10-7 behind to beat Judd Trump 18-15 in the final of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship 2011 at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield. This is John's fourth world title and his third ranking title of the season.

After fourteen days of top snooker we finally know the identity of one of the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship 2011 finalists. It's only the 21-year-old qualifier from Bristol; Judd Trump! He came through in the high-quality semi-final 17-15 over Masters champion Ding Junhui.

After months of waiting the first day of competition in the Betfred.com World Snooker Championship's at the Crucible Theatre, Sheffield has finally started! The fans were treated to a feast of Snooker on the opening day including a shock result in the Neil Robertson v Judd Trump opening match.

Judd Trump was hyped from a young age by Snooker pundits but has never showed his true potential. That all changed today as he won his maiden televised ranking-event title by beating the in-form Mark Selby 10-8 in a hard fought China Open final in Beijing.

It wasn't the final line-up that we expected but it makes it hard to predict a winner! Judd Trump in his maiden ranking-event final faces Mark Selby in the final of the China Open 2011. Both players have similar styles but who will come out on top in Beijing?
