Judd Trump feels his brilliant achievements in snooker do not get the recognition they deserve and he feels more underappreciated now than ever. The world number one is enjoying another fantastic season, winning the UK Championship, Saudi Arabia Snooker Masters and Shanghai Masters this season.

At 35-years-old has has racked up 30 ranking titles, with only Ronnie O’Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and John Higgins boasting more. While Trump is clearly rated extremely highly by any sensible snooker judge, he does not feel like he is getting the credit he deserves, noting his record six ranking titles in a season as a record that is ‘forgotten about a little bit.’.

Asked if he feels underappreciated, he said: ‘I think now more than ever I am. ‘For my age I’ve won a lot of events and achieved a lot of things in snooker. Winning six ranking titles in a season gets forgotten about a little bit. I think it’s an extremely tough record to break.

‘The amount of times I’ve managed to win four, five or six events in a season consistently. I’m proud of myself for what I’ve achieved. I don’t need other people to tell me how great it is, but it would be nice for people to recognise it. ‘It’s probably something that happens when you retire. It seems to be the same in every sport, you’re not appreciated or people don’t appreciate what you’ve achieved until the end of your career.’.
