Judd Trump has hit back at Kyren Wilson after The Warrior called Shaun Murphy an ‘old man’ who needed the Masters triumph more than he did.
Wilson said after losing the final: “I proved I am a world champion. Every credit to Shaun, making a century to finish for the fans. So well done Shaun.
“No disrespect to Shaun, he is turning into an old man now. So he needs this more than me. I am 33 years old, coming into my prime and I am having an amazing season. Runner-up obviously isn’t what I wanted, but I got Berlin next week, so I’ll go and smash it in Germany.
“I am a lucky lad win or lose. Listen I lost, I am gutted, but I tell you what, I am going to consume so many jagerbombs tonight and have the best night ever.”
However, world No. 1 Trump was not a fan of the comments. The Ace told the Metro: “I don’t think he particularly put himself in good light.”
