Judd Trump has accused Ronnie O’Sullivan of ‘lying to himself’ in a brutal assessment after his comprehensive 5-2 win against John Higgins at the Northern Ireland Open on Friday.
When asked if his concentration goes up when he plays against Higgins, Trump said: “Yeah, because I know that everybody wants to win but there are three people that want to win more than anyone; John Higgins, Ronnie [O’Sullivan] and Mark Williams.
“Honestly I can see it in their faces, they’re so determined to win they’ll do absolutely anything, all three of them.
“They all play it off a little bit differently, John doesn’t hide the face but Mark and Ronnie lie to themselves a bit but I just try to instil that into my game.
“They’re so different, but they’re all the same because they want to eat you alive and they’ll win anyway possible.”
