Judd Trump wants £100k distraction 'out the way' after World Championship win

Flying is two centuries away from a £100,000 bonus at the . Snooker bosses are giving away the prize for the first player to reach 100 century breaks this season.

Runaway world No.1 Trump, the 2019 champion, is the only viable contender to bank the bonus and knocked in four more tons last night as he wrapped up a fine 10-4 first-round victory over Zhou Yuelong. Only Neil Robertson (2013-14) and Trump (2019-20) have reached the landmark before.

And Trump, who set up the tie of the second round against Shaun Murphy, said: "You've got to be quite proud when you play like that in the Crucible. It [the bonus] is not in my mind. But I can feel in becoming more tense in the crowd.

"It's something I'd like to get out the way and concentrate on the tournament really."

Earlier in the day, Murphy completed a convincing 10-4 victory of his own with breaks of 138, 133, 100, 89, 76, 71, 64, 63 and 57.

Chinese qualifier Pang Junxu saw off compatriot Zhang Anda 10-7. Former world champion Luca Brecel recovered from 5-1 down to trail Ryan Day 5-4.
