Judd Trump labelled ‘joint-sixth’ greatest snooker player of all-time

Judd Trump continues to make his case for being one of snooker’s all-time greatest players, with veteran pro Anthony Hamilton now seeing him joint-sixth in the top 10, alongside Mark Selby. The current world number one is enjoying another brilliant season having won the UK Championship, Saudi Arabia Masters and Shanghai Masters.

The 35-year-old won five ranking events last season and has continued his relentless winning run this campaign, with his ranking title tally now standing at an incredible 30. If there is any criticism of Trump it is that he has not landed the biggest prize in the game enough yet, with one World Championship title to his name thanks to beating John Higgins in the 2019 Crucible final.

Hamilton believes the lack of multiple World Championships at this stage of his career means he remains behind, or possibly level with, players who have conquered the Crucible on more than one occasion. ‘It’s hard to put him ahead of people like Steve Davis yet, with how dominant he was and how many world titles and BBC events he won,’ Hamilton told Metro.

‘He’s up there, probably sixth? But it’s hard to work it out. There’s the obvious Class of 92 players [Ronnie O’Sullivan, John Higgins and Mark Williams], [Steve] Davis and [Stephen] Hendry, there’s five. So the highest he can be is sixth and he probably is sixth.
