Shaun Murphy recently drew attention to a special trait that Judd Trump shares with snooker legend Ronnie O’Sullivan. According to Murphy, both Trump and O’Sullivan possess an exceptional ability to dominate the snooker table with a seemingly effortless approach. They are renowned for their fearlessness and their knack for turning a match in their favor, often leaving opponents astounded.
While their techniques and styles differ, Murphy noted that both players have a similar level of mental toughness. This gives them the ability to remain calm under pressure and adjust their strategies when it matters most, making even the toughest shots look easy. It’s this combination of mental strength and adaptability that distinguishes them from many of their peers.
Murphy’s observations came after watching Trump’s recent matches, where he demonstrated his skill in handling challenging shots and controlling the flow of play, reminding Murphy of O’Sullivan’s brilliance. Although comparisons between top players are common, Murphy stressed that Trump is building his own legacy, while still reflecting some of the remarkable attributes that have defined O’Sullivan’s career.
