There was no comeback needed this time from Judd Trump as he eased past Gary Wilson in the fourth round of the English Open. Trump had needed to come from 3-1 down to win his previous three matches at the tournament but looked in control on Thursday evening as he set up a quarter-final clash with Kyren Wilson.

Judd Trump delivered a much-improved performance as he beat Gary Wilson 4-1 to reach the quarter-finals of the English Open.

Having battled back from 3-1 down to win his last three matches, Trump raised his game with breaks of 70, 89 and 76 helping him secure victory.

He will next face Kyren Wilson, who beat him in the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship quarter-finals in August.

Trump started the evening in positive fashion with a break of 70, only for Gary Wilson to level with a brilliant 124.

The world No 1 regained the lead with a break of 89 in the third frame but looked as though he would be pegged back again by Wilson.

However, with a 63-0 lead in frame four, Wilson missed a black into the corner and Trump seized his chance to snatch the frame.

That proved a pivotal moment as a break of 76 in the fifth frame sealed Trump’s most comfortable win of the tournament so far.
