Judd Trump Defeats John Higgins at Wuhan Open

Judd Trump faced a unique challenge during his match against John Higgins at the Wuhan Open when he accidentally used another player's cue after the mid-session break. Despite leading 3-1, Trump alerted the referee to the mix-up, explaining that his cue had been mistakenly placed next to Ben Woollaston's cue on the practice table. After a brief pause to retrieve his own cue, Trump maintained his focus, winning the match 5-2 and securing his place in the quarter-finals. Higgins, a four-time world champion, managed a remarkable 126 clearance during the match, marking his 1,005th career century. Trump will now face either Chris Wakelin or Ding Junhui in the next round, while other players like Jack Lisowski and Shaun Murphy also advanced.
