England’s Judd Trump claimed his first Shanghai Masters title on Sunday, defeating compatriot Shaun Murphy with an impressive 11-5 victory in the final. The triumph marks a significant start to Trump’s 2024-25 snooker season.
Trump capitalized on Murphy’s slow start, building a commanding 7-3 lead in the initial sessions. Demonstrating exceptional skill, he recorded a break of 110, his tenth century at this year’s tournament. Although Murphy rallied with two centuries of his own, his late surge was insufficient to overcome Trump’s dominance.
