Trump beats Si 5-2 to set up quarter-final with Selby at Shenzhen Open

Judd Trump defeated Si Jiahui 5-2 at the Shenzhen Open on 1 October 2026 to reach the quarter-finals, where he will meet Mark Selby. The win was the 113th time Trump has reached the last eight of a ranking event in his career.

Trump compiled breaks of 80, 71, 53 and 54 during the victory, but his progress was nearly disrupted by a malfunctioning LED advertising screen behind the table. After Si missed the yellow in the seventh frame, the screen flashed blue in Trump's line of sight as he potted that same ball into the top-right pocket, yet he recovered to clear the remaining colours and seal the match.

"At this stage there's always a crucial ball or crucial frame," said Trump. "So far this season and maybe last season I have not been winning those. But that can change at any point - you have just got to keep putting yourself in those positions."

Four-time world champion Mark Selby produced a top break of 99 in his 5-3 triumph over Stephen Maguire. Selby also won the China Open in August.

World champion Wu Yize beat Ricky Walden 5-3 and will next face Shaun Murphy in a repeat of their Crucible final in May. Murphy dominated his encounter with Elliot Slessor to record a 5-1 win.

Yuan Sijun defeated Zak Surety 5-2 and Jimmy Robertson swept aside Scott Donaldson 5-0. Neil Robertson fell to a 5-2 loss to Chris Wakelin.

Michael Holt beat Kyren Wilson 5-2, knocking in a superb break of 126 on his way to reaching his first quarter-final in a ranking event since the UK Championship in 2024.

The quarter-final line-up now includes Trump versus Selby, while Wu Yize will take on Shaun Murphy.
