With a convincing victory over SI Jiahui in Berlin, JUDD TRUMP clinches his third title as a German master.


Judd Trump defeated China’s Si Jiahui 10-5 on Sunday night to earn his third German Masters championship and fourth ranking title of the year.
The Bristol man was not perfect, but he was probably the next best thing as he easily defeated his novice opponent,
who appeared to be much younger due to a series of mistakes that kept opening doors.
Judd Trump won his third German Masters title at the Berlin Tempodrom, capping off an incredible season with a 10-5 triumph over Si Jiahui.
With his victories in the English Open, Wuhan Open, and International Championship,
Trump now has four ranking titles to his name this season.
The £80,000 first prize and the Brandon Parker Trophy were up for grabs in the German metropolis.
After a thrilling afternoon session, the world No. 2 was ahead 5-3, but 21-year-old Si made the ideal start to the evening by pulling Trump closer with an incredible 123 clearance.
Trump, however, answered with a century break of his own and easily won the tenth frame.
In the following over,
Trump, who was having a great game, scored his 66th century of the year to take a commanding 7-4 lead.
Trump played it safe and paid a price for his lack of drive when he failed to sink the red. Si took the bait and won a crucial frame with poise.

In the last frame, Si made another mistake that allowed Trump another opportunity. But this time, Trump made a mistake of his own in reply.
Trump then easily won, claiming the title as the Tempodrom applauded their hero.
