. It was a pretty close match, but I feel like it was always gonna be Selby's day. He's been playing at this level for ages, and you can tell he's got the experience to back it up 
. Trump's young gun tries his best, but he just can't quite keep up with the likes of Selby 
. The way Selby outmaneuvered him was pure class 
... now that was some snooker! 
and that final frame was insane!! selby's got so much experience under his belt and you can see it in the way he just calmed himself down and focused on the game 
. also i love how the crowd at york barbican were on their feet cheering for him 
! Selby is a total snooker legend now and i'm not even kidding!!! 3 titles under his belt and still going strong 
his skill & strategy are literally unmatched - Judd Trump put up quite a fight tho 
he's the real deal now!
. And can we talk about Selby's shot selection? The lad is a master of the cue 
. I've been following snooker for ages and to see Selby at the top of his game is just amazing. Trump's still got his skills but you could tell he was feeling the pressure 
. Anyway, congrats to Selby on an epic win! He deserves it after all those years grinding away 
.
. That's what separates the champions from the rest.
This win is a testament to Selby's dedication and perseverance 
️. I think we can all learn from his approach, which was to stay calm and composed even when things weren't going his way 
. He didn't get rattled by Trump's strong comeback attempts 
, instead choosing to adapt and capitalize on the opportunities that came his way. That level of resilience is something we can all strive for in our own lives 
.
... and that comeback story from the younger trump was so thrilling 
! can't wait to see what he does next year 
Selby played some incredible shots, those pots were like magic tricks or something! 
Anyway, Congrats to Selby on his third UK Championship title, he's definitely one of the best in the game right now. Can't wait to see what he does next season 
. Trump gave it his all, but Selby's composure was just too much 
. We've seen this before. The stats say he's been the favorite for years, but is that just because he's the more experienced player? How can we really know if Trump didn't have a good game plan that was ruined by Selby's nerves? 
. What about the crowd reaction? Was it overhyped or genuine excitement? Where are the reactions from Trump himself? Let's get to the bottom of this before we crown Selby the champion again 
️. Trump had some crazy shots, but Selby was solid as ever
