Jones, the world number 44, capitalised on an error-strewn display by the 2019 champion to turn an 8-8 overnight tie into a 13-9 win.
Judd Trump’s hopes of landing a second World Snooker Championship title were shattered by qualifier Jak Jones in a major quarter-final upset at the Crucible.
“A lot of the frames were quite slow and I got bogged down. His pace definitely affected me, but that’s not his fault. I just needed to get in and clear up every time, and I didn’t do that.” A miss on an even easier yellow in the next sent Jones one frame from victory, and when Trump went in-off potting a red in the 22nd frame, Jones responded with a nerveless 106 clearance to finish.Jones, who had never previously reached a ranking semi-final, defended his pace of play and said he detected early in the game that Trump, a clear favourite with five ranking titles to his name this season alone, was out of sorts.
Jones, who will face either Ronnie O’Sullivan or Stuart Bingham in the last four, now faces an even bigger task of convincing his mum Debbie to watch him play live for the first time.Despite ferrying her son to matches since he first turned professional at the age of 16, she is yet to watch him play either live or on the TV, and Jones does not believe the unique occasion of a Crucible semi-final will change her mind.
