Superb Wu fightback sends Trump out in Nanjing

China’s Wu Yize produced a sensational comeback to knock world number one Judd Trump out of the International Championship in Nanjing.

Trump, 36, was 4-0 in front at the mid-session interval but was limited to only 18 more points in the match as Wu, ranked 22nd in the world, won the next six frames in succession to reach the quarter-finals.

The former English Open and Scottish Open runner-up, 22, made five breaks of 80 or more – including a 109 in the sixth frame – on his way to victory.

Trump has had a mixed start to the season but he reached the final of the Northern Ireland Open in Belfast last month, losing in a deciding frame to fellow Englishman and close friend Jack Lisowski.

Wu’s quarter-final opponent will be England’s Barry Hawkins, who ended in-form Lisowski’s winning run with a 6-4 success.

Lisowski, who defeated Ronnie O’Sullivan in the third round on Tuesday, knocked in century breaks in three consecutive frames as he fought back from 4-0 behind to draw level with Hawkins.

But the former World Championship runner-up restored his lead with a break of 75 in the ninth frame on his way to confirming his place in the next round.

World champion Zhao Xintong of China and England’s four-time Crucible winner Mark Selby will meet in one of the other quarter-finals, following 6-1 wins against China’s Si Jiahui and Scotland’s Anthony McGill respectively.

The line-up for the last eight will be completed later on Wednesday, with the four remaining last-16 matches starting at 11:30 GMT.
