Speaking in the Eurosport studio, Trump joked: “As long as I get past [Stuart] Bingham I’ll be happy. I can’t be below him!”
He continued: “I mean, I don’t expect to carry on at this rate. I’ve made three in the calendar year, two in this season. You can’t expect to carry on like that. I’d be on 40 when I finish my career.
“A goal of mine is the World Championship. That’s the real special one that I want to do, but I love making them. The crowd seem to really enjoy it and it makes it just so special out there.”

Jimmy White has no doubt that Trump will smash O’Sullivan’s record, saying: “Easy 20, easy 20. Easy.”
“Yeah, it [the record] should do really,” he told Eurosport. “I do not think it is an important record. I am not really bothered about that one.
“As soon as they took the [147] prize away from the World Championships, my incentive to get them sort of went away, really.
“I used to like that one, you know. I think I won £70,000 or something, I think.”
