Judd can’t sleep on it
Judd Trump says he is sleeping well – but he may not enjoy the silence before tonight’s storm.
The World No. 1 knows that Mark Williams only needs four frames to reach the final, from tomorrow.
Trump said before Williams changed an overnight stay 8-8 score to a 13-11 lead: “I sleep well here. It is very, very tiring.
“I normally sleep straight on for about nine hours.
“Because it is so hectic around Sheffield, I don’t really get out of my room. I try to stay away from everyone.
“Save my energy that way. It is important that I work a little gym here and there, just to stay healthy.”

WST -Statement
Snooker fans have been denied a repayment despite no game on Saturday afternoon at The Crucible.
Zhao Xintong’s commander 17-7 victory over Ronnie O’Sullivan was completed on Friday evening with a session.
An exhibition with Steve Davis and Dennis Taylor, 40 years after the victory of the last in their famous ‘Black-Ball Final’ took place instead.
But the WST was forced to give a statement after fans had sustained the decision not to distribute any refunds.

‘De Geit’
Ronnie O’Sullivan shared a return for his first meeting with Zhao Xintong – hours after the Chinese star had beaten him out of the world championship.
O’Sullivan was surpassed by Zhao on the Crucible and went off 17-7 on Friday evening.
The Snap showed a young Zhao who posed with the rocket, who endorsed the photo: “How it started versus how it goes.”
