Saudi Arabia Masters snooker: Judd Trump was ‘looking for flights home’ before remarkable comeback

World number two Mark Allen, however, exited the tournament as he lost 5-1 to Xiao Guodong of China.

It looked like Allen would also stage a comeback after falling behind 2-0, when he hit a 104 break to take the third frame, but Xiao won the next three to progress.

Former world number one John Higgins was also knocked out as he lost 5-2 to Jimmy Robertson.

Scot Higgins, who has not won a ranking event since the Players Championship in 2021, never recovered from going 3-0 down and must rely on results elsewhere to keep a spot in the world’s top 16.

There were also defeats for Ali Carter and Barry Hawkins.

World number 10 Carter was beaten 5-3 by fellow Englishman Elliot Slessor, while 16th-ranked Hawkins lost 5-1 to Scotland’s Scott Donaldson.

The Saudi Arabia Masters, which has been given the unofficial title of being the sport’s ‘fourth major’ by organisers, is the biggest ever tournament staged outside the UK.

With a £2.3m prize fund and £500,000 winner’s cheque, only the World Championship in Sheffield is comparable.
