In a stunning turn of events at the World Snooker Championship, both Ronnie O’Sullivan and Judd Trump were knocked out in the quarter-finals by qualifiers Stuart Bingham and Jak Jones, respectively. The Crucible witnessed a day filled with drama and upsets as the top-ranked players were sent packing.

Bingham, a former champion in 2015, managed to outplay O’Sullivan in a nerve-jangling 13-10 victory. O’Sullivan, despite the loss, remained positive about his performance and acknowledged Bingham’s fantastic play.

On the other hand, Trump fell to Jones in a 13-9 defeat after struggling with his game and missing crucial opportunities. Jones, who is now just two wins away from potentially becoming the third qualifier to win the title, capitalized on Trump’s errors and controlled the match to secure his spot in the semi-finals.

The unexpected results have set up an intriguing semi-final lineup with Bingham facing Jones in one match, while David Gilbert will take on Kyren Wilson in the other. Gilbert, who has experienced a career resurgence, sealed his place in the last four with a 13-8 win over Stephen Maguire.
