World number one Judd Trump held off Shaun Murphy’s fightback to win an epic last-16 tie and move into the quarter-finals of the World Championship.
Trump looked set for a routine victory when he led 12-6 but missed a red into the middle pocket and Murphy capitalised by reeling off four frames in a row.
However 2019 champion Trump held his nerve to take the 23rd frame for a 13-10 win and set up a match against either 2023 winner Luca Brecel or 2016 runner-up Ding Junhui in the quarter-final.
On Sunday, Trump made the two century breaks he needed to reach the 100-ton mark for the season, an achievement that earned him a £100,000 bonus.
The 35-year-old could become the first player to top £2m in prize money in a single season if he wins the world title, the prize for which is £500,000.
