Because of his achievements in Germany, Trump has been transferred to a different group and is no longer scheduled to participate in the Championship League in Leicester this week. Henceforth, he will compete in Group 7, facing off against O’Sullivan and Si on February 28 and 29.

What seems to be the strongest season of his professional career has already seen the Bristol native win four ranking titles. At the end of the campaign, he hopes to surpass O’Sullivan to the top of the global rankings, but it will be difficult to unseat the Rocket in the upcoming month.

Following his victory in the German Masters, Trump commented, “It feels good to be back there competing for the top spot at the end of the season.” It should be an exciting battle if Ronnie and I continue on our current trajectory, and maybe we may face off in a few more finals before the season ends.”
