Judd Trump knocked out of 2019 UK Championship by Nigel Bond in one of snooker’s biggest upsets in recent years

Nigel Bond produced a stunning upset as he sent world champion Judd Trump crashing out of the Betway UK Championship in York.

Bond, who turned professional 30 years ago and was World Championship runner-up in 1995, stunned the world number one in round three.

The 54-year-old opened up a 5-3 lead, and then held his nerve in frame nine after a long duel on the final pink, before potting it and ending his fellow Englishman's title hopes.

Ranked 97 places below Trump, Bond, whose solitary career ranking title so far was the 1996 British Open, found inspired form to cause one of snooker's biggest upsets in recent years.

He trailed 3-1, only to reel off five successive frames highlighted by breaks of 114 and 85.

"He's the man of the moment. I'm 54. What am I doing?" Bond told BBC Sport. "Once I settled, I played some good stuff out there. It's unbelievable."
