Judd Trump has surpassed Neil Robertson’s record for the most century breaks in a single snooker season.
The world number one wrapped up his 104th ton of the campaign against Luca Brecel on Wednesday evening.
Trump has broken the record for most centuries in a single snooker season with 104
Robertson’s record of 103 had stood for 11 years after being set back in 2014
Trump had headed into the final session of their quarter-final needing two more centuries to break the record.
He wasted no time in doing so by beginning the session with a 115 break before following it up with a 116.
In doing so he surpasses the previous record of 103 set by Robertson during the 2013/14 season.
It also established control of the match, which had resumed at 8-8 following the afternoon session.

Trump had built an early lead on Tuesday with two centuries during the opening eight frames to lead 5-3.
However, Brecel mounted a fightback to level the quarter-final heading into the final session.
The Ace in the Pack’s pair of centuries left him just three frames from a place in the last four, though.
Trump had already made nine centuries at this year’s World Snooker Championship, helping him scoop a £100,000 bonus in the process.
