Judd Trump was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the World Championship by Jak Jones, who is currently ranked 44th in the world.

Despite a superb 104 break from Bingham, only seven of the eight scheduled frames were completed due to the protracted nature of some frames.
In another semi-final match, Kyren Wilson holds a lead over David Gilbert. The Welsh qualifier reeled off five consecutive frames, boosted by three half-century breaks. Bingham, on the other hand, made several errors throughout the match and struggled to find his rhythm. Despite a century break in the final frame, Bingham’s loose safety shots and missed opportunities allowed Jones to capitalize and take control of the match. Jones remained unfazed by the pressure and punished Bingham for his mistakes, putting himself in a strong position to reach the final.
