Judd Trump suffered an upset as he was defeated by Graeme Dott 6-1, in the quarter-final of the Masters at Alexandra Palace, according to the BBC.

In a match of few high breaks, Dott won the first two frames before the world number two got on the scoreboard. The Scot then took the next two for a 4-1 lead, and although Trump had an opportunity in the sixth, Dott claimed it in order to move within one of victory, before clinching the win with a century.

“Luckily for me, Judd did not show up today,” said Dott. “You expect him to play well and sometimes when someone doesn’t play well, it affects your game. I seemed to struggle too. It is unusual for Judd to play as bad as that, but I was happy for this match to be a tactical one.”
