Judd Trump vs Ali Carter


In the Snooker match between Judd Trump and Ali Carter things got head to head when Ali Carter came from behind and won the final match and won the round. Judd trump won the final frame of the session by leading 10-7. During the next session Carter wins a match and trails behind at 10-8. Trump then wins 11-8 as Carter then catches up 11-9 which then Trump takes the lead to 12-9. Carter then rapidly gets an 87 on a 147 attempt. He was still behind at 12-10. Carter then won the next match at 12-11. On winning 3 matches in a row Carter and Trump were then head to head at 12-12 and battled it out on the final round. Carter then surprisingly won from being 12-9 to 12-13!

At the end of the match during the interviews Ali Carter couldn’t wait to rub it in to the 22 year olds face and said “I'm delighted to get through. All credit to Judd. He pots them from everywhere, but there's more to this game than potting balls from everywhere as I've shown today."

After Trump had heard this he simply bit back saying that Carter was simply “Childish”

During the 23rd frame the 22 year old fluked a shot Carter sarcastically clapped for him. Again, Trump just replied simply by saying that “he is 30 years old and if he wants to act childish then it is up to him. I’m a lot younger than him and have done a lot better. So let’s just let the snooker do the talking”.

I would have expected this from football or more a ‘rough’ sport not a sport like snooker. I think that this could have been avoided. I would have expected Carters behaviour from Trump at still only being 22 years old and still quite young as Ali Carter is 32 years and a bit more experienced. This behaviour is quite immature but eh? Anything to liven it up a bit!

Personally, I was routing for Trump since last year as his game plan is less organised and flukier than the rest of the competitors which makes the game more interesting! Bad luck Judd Trump, better look next time!
