He then beat legendary snooker player Ronnie O'Sullivan 5-4 at the Grand Prix in 2008/09.

The rumoured couple have been pictured together several times over the years but have never confirmed dating rumours.
Trump has been outspoken with his views on snooker's strict dress code for players.
In April 2021 he called for more casual clothing within the sport, chastising the old-fashioned rule of players having to wear a waistcoat and bow tie.
He said: "Snooker is kind of stuck in a rut…not enough is being done on the whole image of snooker.
"I've got the golf on and their clothing is all changing, becoming more lenient for the younger generation.
"I don't want to be stuck in a waistcoat walking to the Crucible, it's not cool to be wearing that nowadays."
