German Masters defending champion Judd Trump is through to the second round after a convincing 5-1 win over Mark Davis in Milton Keynes. Trump was not at his best, but he was able to muster more than enough to get past the world number 45 on his return to the tour, having missed out on the Masters two weeks ago after testing positive for coronavirus.

Judd Trump wasted no time getting into his groove at the German Masters after displaying his exhibition potting during his first-round match with Mark Davis.

The world number one, returning to the Tour after missing the Masters with Covid-19, appeared to be stranded in the closing stages of the opening frame with the yellow, his next shot, tucked on the top cushion.

However, Trump duly thumped it into the pocket to leave the Eurosport commentary team astounded.
