LONDON - World No 1 Judd Trump failed to reach the finals of the Snooker Championship League after recording one win, one draw and one loss on Wednesday.

Elite sport events were allowed to resume behind closed doors in Britain last Monday and snooker came back with the non-ranking event held at Marshall Arena, Milton Keynes, after competition was suspended for 11 weeks.

Trump, cruising into the last 16 stage after clinching three consecutive wins from his first-round group matches nine days ago, suffered a blow in Wednesday's first match, losing 3-0 to Ryan Day, who is the 36th ranked player in the world.

The reigning world champion managed to outplay Barry Hawkins 3-1 and drew 2-2 with David Gilbert later, but had to watch on as Day reached the finals with one win and two draws.

Day will be joined by Luca Brecel, Stuart Bingham and Ben Woollaston in Thursday's finals.

Most of the Chinese players were still in China when the competition began, only Chen Feilong and Liang Wenbo took part in the 64-man event.

Liang won three matches in a row including a victory over three-time world champion Mark Selby to reach the last 16 last Thursday but failed to go further after a bottom-placed finish with one draw and two losses on Tuesday.
