Judd Trump received his first Shanghai Masters title by beating fellow Englishman Shaun Murphy 11-5 within the last.
The world quantity two, who thrashed seven-time world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan within the semi-final, was in scintillating kind, scoring three centuries as he took the £210,000 prize.
Trump, who led 7-3 after the morning session, put himself inside a body of the title with a break of 110 – his tenth century of the event.
Murphy responded with two centuries to shut the hole to 10-5 earlier than Trump sealed his first title of the 2024-25 season.
“This is among the high 5 occasions of the season, so to win that is a tremendous begin to the season,” stated the 2019 world champion.
“I want to replicate what I did final season and win near perhaps 5 or extra occasions this season. I could not have dreamed of a greater begin.”
