@Source: walesonline.co.uk
World number one Judd Trump and Mark Williams are enjoying a right old ding-dong in their World Snooker Championship semi-final. With one session left at the Crucible, the Welshman leads Trump 13-11 in a game that has swung one way then another. Trump, at one stage, held a commanding lead over his rival, but the 50-year-old has shown that class is permanent to hold a two-frame advantage heading into the last session tonight. The 35-year-old previously defeated Zhou Yuelong 10-4 in the opening round in Sheffield, setting up the match with Shaun Murphy, whom he also dispatched. The winner of the clash will face Zhao Xintong in the final tomorrow. Trump is already considered one of the most successful snooker players ever, boasting 30 ranking titles throughout his career. This places him behind only Ronnie O'Sullivan, Stephen Hendry and John Higgins on the all-time list. He also has five Triple Crown titles under his belt. Despite this, his victory at the 2019 World Championships remains his sole world title, and he is now vying for a second in this year's competition. However, his participation in snooker's biggest tournament follows a busy few months for the Bristol-born star, who now resides thousands of miles away from the UK. From his new home and sports star girlfriend to his substantial net worth, here's what you need to know about Trump's life off the snooker table. Trump is currently dating renowned Hong Kong figure skater and TV personality Maisy Ma. The couple were first linked romantically last year, though they've maintained a low profile, eschewing the sharing of each other's photos on their social media platforms. Trump is a decade Ma's senior and boasts over 180,000 Instagram followers. He's not just a decorated skater with numerous medals but he's also carving out a niche as a television presenter. His presenting gigs have ranged from the Paris Olympics to horse racing events, and he's even teamed up with Mercedes-Benz for corporate events. On speaking about his relationship with Ma, the ex-world champion snooker player Trump mentioned, "She's used to being in the limelight herself, she still does TV work. It's a good balance because she knows what I'm going through, I think that helps as well." In the past, Trump's personal life made headlines when he was associated with UAE equestrian Khadijah Misr, who was notably present after his victory at the 2017 Players Championship, although the relationship subsequently ended. Known for a lavish lifestyle, Trump has faced some criticism, particularly from promoter Barry Hearn who labeled him a "part-time playboy". In retaliation, Trump remarked in an interview with The Independent, "Barry Hearn has said there's no time for playboys, but I'm not a playboy," also noting that he has since removed 'part-time playboy' from his Twitter bio. Earlier in the year, Trump announced his decision to move away from the UK and start anew in Dubai. The 35-year-old Bristol-born has recently made major life changes, with plans to move his practice tables to the Persian Gulf in January, indicating a permanent relocation to Dubai. Trump, who also took up residence in Hong Kong last year, has told Metro that his partner Ma won't be accompanying him to Dubai. Detailing his plans, Trump shared: "My practice tables are getting taken out next week so it's pretty permanent now. My main base will be in Dubai but my girlfriend lives in Hong Kong." The snooker ace explained his dual residency: "I have residence in both Dubai and Hong Kong so I'll be split between them depending where the tournaments are. It's very different, completely different from what I'm used to. I'm used to my old life of just going to practice and then sitting at home all night, every day." Trump expressed excitement about the lifestyle changes awaiting him: "Now there's a lot more opportunities to do different things," he said. "It's a more outdoorsy lifestyle, living in those different places, a lot more time after snooker to spend in the sun, or go to the beach or whatever." He added a note on how the UK weather affects him, saying: "It's a bit better and more inspiring than being in the miserable weather for months." Trump also touched upon the link between success and wellbeing: "When you're winning it's a lot easier to be happy. When you're travelling around and you fancy your chances of winning every event, you're not dreading going to venues. It definitely helps. "Where I'm living as well, it makes it easier to accept defeat. It's easier to travel back to that. You're in a bit of a bubble for the first few years when you make changes in your life or new things happen. You're a lot happier when you lose to go home." With his impressive track record of title victories, Trump has built up considerable wealth over the years. His net worth is estimated at around £10million , with career prize money exceeding £8 million, as per CueTracker's data. This season alone, Trump has pocketed £1.46 million, including a hefty £500,000 from his triumph at the Saudi Arabia Masters. If he were to get to the World Championship final tomorrow, the runner-up will receive £200,000, while the champion will secure a substantial £500,000 prize.
