For Judd Trump, his latest ranking victory was a particularly sweet one. The win, a 10-5 triumph over Chinese rising star Si Jiahui, made Trump the most successful player in the tournament's history. Having already won the English Open, Wuhan Open, and Northern Ireland Open, Trump added the German Masters to what is shaping up as the best season of his career.
'Amazing season' - Trump basks in latest glory at German Masters
Judd Trump claimed his fourth ranking title of a bumper 2023-24 season on Sunday evening with a dominant victory over the Chinese rising star Si Jiahui.
Speaking in the aftermath of victory, shortly after lifting the trophy for a record third time, Trump was jubilant.
He turned first to the crowd which had supported and lifted him throughout the tournament.
He said: "I just want to thank everybody who came here this week and supported the event.
"The crowds have been amazing. This is definitely one of my favourite events on the calendar."
Trump then turned to what is swiftly emerging as a candidate to be the best season of his career.
He said: "It's been an amazing season so far. I think I've reached seven finals, six ranking finals, and this is my fourth win.
