Day 10 part 1

No one can deny Ali Carter V Judd Trump of being one of the best matches of the championships so far! Butt clincher it was. Ali Carter is back to form and good health, he fought like a demon against Trump. Any bad shots or mistakes he made, he let go of them and came back to the table stronger. He broke Judd down and it showed. Even though in the final frame decider when it looked like Ali was to win, he made a dodgy shot and put Judd back in needing 4 snookers. Judd came to the table and scooped back 3 Snookers. Ali fought on and flew against Judd into the Semi finals. 13-12. A Result surely to hurt Trump.  As Rob Walker spoke to Ali after the match, Carter seemed a little emotional who could blame him. Peter Ebdon then decided to plant a sloppy kiss on Carter's fore head that soon bought him round.
