"It's been an amazing season so far," he said. "I think I've reached seven finals, six ranking finals, and this is my fourth win.
"Every tournament is special, but when you get to play in front of a crowd like this, and lift the trophy, they are the kinds of moments you remember at the end of your career."
Trump also praised Si Jiahui, saying: “I think he is very promising. The form he showed in the World Championship and this event, he is certainly the most talented player out there and the most likely to get to the top of the game.

"Shot selection is the key for him, the same as when I was young. As soon as he realises that and knuckles down he will challenge for a lot of titles."
