After his 10-4 win over Zhou Yuelong in the first round, Trump – then on 98 centuries – was asked what an achievement it would be to get to 100.
He said: “It would be way better than the achievement last time because I played far more tournaments and far more games [in 2019-20].
“I don’t know how many games I played this season, but it would have to be a record as I’ve missed three or four tournaments.
“I didn’t target it at all, I didn’t think it was a possibility. I didn’t want to be in contention but after the Championship League, I didn’t expect the pockets to be so big, and the centuries were flying in for everyone.”
Trump, the 2019 world champion, leads 10-6 over Murphy and needs three more frames to move into the quarter-finals when the match is played to a finish from 13:00 BST on Monday.
The overall champion will get £500,000 in prize money.
