Jimmy White claimed his first professional win over Judd Trump as he moved into the last-16 of the WST Classic in Leicester.
White, who turns 61 in May, coasted into a 3-0 lead then withstood a brief Trump comeback before wrapping up a 4-2 win.
In doing so, White matched his record set at the recent German Masters when he became the first player in his 60s to reach the last-16 of a ranking event since Eddie Charlton in 1992.
"They couldn't find me in the 80s to play in the mornings!" 😂
"Davis is a DJ… he's gone all funky!" 🕺

“I was really nervous, but it’s OK to be nervous because it means you’re alive at my age,” White told wst.tv.

White was due to make a swift return to action in Tuesday’s evening session against Pang Junxu, who whitewashed compatriot Si Jiahui.
