Judd Trump registers 1,000th century in British Open defeat by Mark Allen
World number one Judd Trump compiled his 1,000th career century but still fell to a 5-3 defeat by Mark Allen in the quarter-finals of the British Open.
Trump becomes only the third player to achieve the feat, after Ronnie O’Sullivan in 2019 and John Higgins, who reached the milestone earlier in September.
The Englishman made a superb break of 101 in the second frame to level at 1-1 but went 4-1 down before briefly rallying against the Northern Irishman, who will now face Mark Selby in Saturday’s semi-finals.
Four-time world champion Selby claimed his fourth consecutive victory in a final-frame decider as he held off David Gilbert to win 5-4.
Higgins, another four-time Crucible winner, knocked in two century breaks as he thrashed Elliot Slessor 5-1.
The 49-year-old Scot will now play Jak Jones or Oliver Lines.
