JUDD TRUMP will be praying his unbeaten baize record is not ended next weekend…by a 12-YEAR-OLD!
The Juddernaut, 34, has banked a whopping £300,000 in prize money this month by claiming a hat-trick of snooker ranking titles.
The Bristol potter has made the sport look like child’s play by winning the English Open, Wuhan Open and the Northern Ireland Open – a run of 20 matches unbeaten.
His next appearance on the table will be a heldover qualifier at the International Championship in China next Sunday against local wildcards Gong Chenzhi or Wang Xinzhong.
Incredibly, amateur Wang was born in December 2010 and the prospect of a kid taking on the 2019 world champion and world No.3 is absolutely astonishing.
Wang is a prodigious talent and was involved in qualifying for the Wuhan Open but was beaten 5-2 by Si Jiahui, the world championship semi-finalist.

Trump is only £10,000 behind world No.1 Ronnie O‘Sullivan and if he continues his superb form, he may end up reaching the summit of snooker for the first time since November 2021.
Before then, Trump will allow himself the chance to sink a few shots off the baize for winning three-in-a-row.
Trump added: “I may have a trip to London to let the hair down a little bit. I think it’s important to celebrate.
“There have been times in the past when I was winning a lot and I just went through the motions a little bit, going from one tournament to another without really celebrating my achievements.
