Stuart Bingham and Jak Jones upset the odds in Sheffield.
The two top-ranked players had been odds-on to set up a mouthwatering last-four clash but were dumped out by qualifiers Stuart Bingham and Jak Jones respectively.
Trump offered no excuses after being lured into a war of attrition by his opponent, who is ranked second slowest of those who booked a place in this year’s tournament proper. Jones, who reached the Crucible quarter-final on his debut last year, is now two more victories away from becoming only the third qualifier to win the famous title after Terry Griffiths in 1979 and Shaun Murphy in 2005.The Welshman more than held his own in the first two sessions and capitalised on his opponent’s errors when they resumed on Wednesday, to wrest control.
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.“I thought Judd struggled quite a bit,” said Jones. “He started off with a century, just looking like typical Judd, but after I went in 3-1 at the interval I thought he was playing really slow.
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“She won’t even watch me on the TV,” said Jones. “At home now when I’m playing she’ll be doing the ironing or cleaning the house, that’s what she likes to do to keep herself occupied.
