據英國地鐵報2025年4月16日的消息，斯諾克傳奇名將史蒂夫·大衛斯在談到特魯姆普的時候表示，他認為世界排名第一的球員目前已經進入史上最偉大球員的行列。同時，戴維斯認為僅看世錦賽成績就批評特魯姆普是不公平的。

For many years, Trump has been known as the king of small competitions, because his achievements in the World Championships are far from the legendary players in history. But Davis believes that Trump still has a lot of years to catch up, and it is obviously unfair for Trump to ignore his achievements in other areas and only look at his achievements in the World Championships.

DAVIS: It's not fair to Judd to look at the World Championships

Speaking about world No. 1 Trump, Davis told Metro: "I don't think it's fair to judge Judd Trump just by the results of the World Championships. In other sports, you judge by specialty, but we put the World Championships above other majors. It is clearly unfair to define Trump in terms of it. ”

'I think he's already one of the great players. I don't have this problem, but others do. But he's been in the game for so many years and I think it's inevitable. It's like rolling the dice, if there are six players who are always yelling, he will also shout, and he can play for another 15 years, and according to the law of average, he will win from time to time. ”

"Once Mark Williams, Ronnie O'Sullivan and John Higgins are out of the tour, it will be a little easier for him. If someone criticizes Judd, they may need to examine themselves in reality. He's doing wonderful, he's absolutely smart. He doesn't need to win more World Championships and I think he's one of the greatest, but he'll want to win. ”

DAVIS: Trump definitely wants more success

在過去，特魯姆普經常說，他對他對所有比賽都一視同仁，他不會比贏得其他比賽更努力地贏得世錦賽。特魯姆普在去年12月的採訪中表示，當人們贏得三大賽時，他們會告訴你他們瞄準了三大賽。但事實上，沒人可以瞄準錦標賽。

In Trump's view, there is no truth to the often said that small games are easier to win, because everyone's is there. You're going to experience the same emotions in the game and you're going to do your best to fight for the title. In fact, it won't be easy to win in small and medium-sized tournaments either, so he doesn't agree with that.

Although Trump does not think that he needs to work harder at the World Championships, Davis believes that Trump will definitely do everything he can to win more titles in the World Championships. "He's absolutely hungry for more success and he's going to give it his all because he's giving so much," Davis said. He has all the talent, but you also need form. You can no longer expect to play your average at Crucible. He'll be at his best at the right time as the game unfolds. You don't let it appear, but it comes naturally. ”

Trump's biggest competitor at the moment is Wilson

While veteran Davis is confident about Trump's future, the reality is that Trump has been beaten by world No. 2 Kyren Wilson in three finals this season. Wilson has won four ranking tournaments this season, leaving the world No. 2 player favored to defend his World Title.

After winning the World Championships last year, Wilson has undoubtedly become extremely strong, and he has become Trump's most difficult opponent to beat in the final of the World Snooker Tour. While Wilson has yet to topple Trump's world No. 1 ranking, Wilson's performances this season provide strong evidence that he is the favorite to win the World Championships.

In this year's World Championships, Wilson is the top seed and Trump is the second seed. Given their excellent performances this season, it will be interesting to see what they can do at this year's World Championships.
