Judd Trump vs Jak Jones prediction
For a man of his class, it is somewhat surprising that Judd Trump has only ever won the Champion of Champions title once, with the Bristolian having fallen at the final hurdle on a further five occasions.
The current world number five won the Shanghai Masters at the beginning of August, but most recently suffered a shock early exit against Fan Zhengyi in the International Championship.
Jak Jones has been one of the success stories of the new season, with victories in the Championship League in July and the British Open in September, where he beat Mark Selby 10-6 in the final to secure his spot in Leicester.
Jones also has happy memories against his opponent, having beaten Trump 13-9 in the quarter-finals of the 2024 World Championship on his way to the final, while he also triumphed 6-3 in their British Open semi-final just two months ago.
Trump is naturally the favourite, but this could be one to go against the grain.
