After the end of the 2022 Snooker Turkish Masters, it was also announced that the season's schedule is about to enter its final stages, with only three tournaments remaining to be played (the Gibraltar Open, the World Tour Championship and the World Championship).
With Judd Trump winning the first Turkish Masters, the £100,000 prize money also lifted his single-season ranking directly to fourth place, thus winning the ticket to the "Red Packet Contest" Tour Championship.
Trump has won only one invitational title and one ranking title this season, and before the Turkish Masters, the British media constantly questioned whether Trump still had the ability to peak, after all, this year's performance is indeed the same as the previous two seasons.
However, since Trump beat Matthew Celt in the final of the Turkish Masters and blasted the sixth career 147, it has also dispelled some doubts about his own strength, including the famous British media commentator Chris.
Before Trump won the championship, Chris also ridiculed him as one of the small ranking harvesters, but after witnessing Trump lift the championship trophy, the veteran media person changed his attitude a bit like "wall grass".
Chris said: "I was still worried about Trump before the start of this event, but obviously I was worried about it, and in a brand new event, I exploded 147 and won the first event, Trump had to be amazed.
Trump's trip to Turkey has announced that he is back in his peak form, and this title has given him the confidence to win the championship again, and if he can continue to maintain this state in the future, I am fully confident that he can win the World Championship.
Chris, who was criticizing Trump for having problems some time ago, overturned his previous remarks just because Trump won his first ranking championship of the season, and it is really worthy of his title of "famous mouth".
But objectively speaking, Trump did prove himself in this Turkish Masters, but it is very important to say that he returned to the level of the peak period, which is obviously a bit of a mouthful, to know that in addition to the fiery feel in the final, Trump played very hard in the first few rounds, and he was almost out early.
And the fans who watch the game are very clear that Trump's previous super accuracy has also declined visible to the naked eye, and the style of play has not been sharp and aggressive, in other words, if this state continues to the World Championship, the possibility of winning the championship can only be said to be minimal.
Of course, it is not that Trump's championship is not worthy of the name, this season Trump has indeed suffered a lot of doubts, this hard-won championship has also allowed him to regain his former self-confidence, it is undeniable that the confident Trump is very terrible.
After winning the Turkish Masters, Trump also ended his romantic journey, and unlike other competitions this season, Trump was in a good mood after winning the championship, and shouted on his personal social platform: I can't wait to return to this place next year.
Returning to The UK, Trump will make another appearance at the subsequent Gibraltar Open, which can be said to be his "blessed land", I don't know what kind of performance Trump will bring to the defending champion, we will wait and see!
