In the latest report, Jones became the first top 4. And with Trump out, there is only one person left in the top 11 in the world: O'Sullivan.
Trump is ranked No. 2 in the world and is the No. 3 seed in the tournament, as a post-80s player, Trump still has a good performance this season, and has won 5 championships, but throughout his career so far, his results in the three major competitions are not particularly good, which is one of the reasons why some fans "question" him, but there is no doubt that he is still one of the favorites to win the World Championships this year. He went straight to the main draw, beating Wafay and 14th seed Tom Forde in the first two rounds in succession, and reached the last eight strongly, and overall, he was in good shape.
Jones started from the qualifying round, and after entering the main match, Jones defeated Zhang Anda and Si Jiahui two Chinese players in a row, and entered the top 8, from the overall performance, Jones can be regarded as a big dark horse, although Trump's comprehensive strength is stronger, but he wants to easily pass Jones's pass, it is still more difficult.
In the first stage, the two played 4-4, Trump was on the catch-up side as a whole, and in the second stage, Trump still couldn't find the state, but Jones also failed to take the opportunity to establish an advantage, and after two stages, the two played 8-8. In the third stage, Trump still made mistakes and sent opportunities, Jones took the lead to get the match point 12-9, and then successfully advanced 13-9.
