Judd Trump has expressed concern over rowdy fan behavior during important snooker matches, particularly after an incident during his semi-final against Mark Williams at the Crucible. Trump, visibly upset by a spectator's shout, emphasized the need for authorities to address this issue to prevent the sport from adopting an atmosphere similar to darts. Despite his disappointment, he praised Williams' performance. In contrast, Williams maintained a laid-back attitude toward fan disruptions, indicating that such noise does not affect his play, as he has dealt with far worse in informal settings.
Judd Trump has urged snooker's authorities to act immediately to stamp out rowdy fan behaviour and avoid fostering a darts atmosphere at the sport's biggest events.
We don't really want the darts atmosphere, Trump said when asked about the incident following his 17-14 defeat. It's something we need to stamp out immediately.
Williams typically had a more relaxed attitude to the subject of fans shouting out during play, insisting: It makes no difference to me.
I used to play in a club donkey's years ago where they're fighting around my table at 10, 11 o'clock in the morning. They can shout whatever they want when I'm at the table.
