Judd Trump is relishing the chance to compete for the BetVictor Series bonus for a third consecutive year at next week’s BetVictor Gibraltar Open.
Trump landed the £150,000 bonus in both 2020 and 2021 and if he completes the three-peat then his earnings from that source alone will reach £450,000.
The BetVictor Gibraltar Open runs from March 24 to 26 at the Europa Sports Complex with a multitude of snooker’s biggest stars in the line up – for the match schedule click here. Tickets start at just £20 and are on sale now at www.buytickets.gi
World number three Trump heads there full of confidence having won last week’s Nirvana Turkish Masters, his first ranking title in a year.
“I’ll be going there with a different feeling, now I have a win under my belt. I will be a lot more relaxed,” he said. “There’s a lot up for grabs with 11 players going for the bonus. It’s going to be a really exciting event with a lot of drama and a lot of storylines.
“It’s in my hands, if I win the tournament then it doesn’t matter what anyone else does. In the last few years it has been a big event for me because there has always been the bonus on the line.
“I really enjoy the format, playing up to four matches in one day, I often play my best in that situation because I get on a roll of going from one match to another. Gibraltar is a really nice place and I have a lot of good memories from previous trips there.”
Supported by the Ministry of Sport in Gibraltar, the tournament will be televised by Eurosport and a range of other global broadcasters.
