DEFENDING champion Judd Trump is relishing the pressure of trying to become a treble Masters champion.
Snooker's most prestigious invitational starts at London's Ally Pally tomorrow and Trump is hungry to continue his dominance of the event after a season to savour so far.
The world No.2 has already won three major titles this season and reached two other finals.
Victory in the capital could see him pocket the £250,000 first prize and join an elite group of only six other players who have won three or more coveted Masters crowns.
"I love winning, I love the feeling of winning and I absolutely hate losing," said Trump.
"That is what spurs me on. I just think that, although there isn't a short shelf life in snooker, I don't want to look back at the end of my career and have missed events and not practised enough.
"We get enough time off in the off-season that when it comes to the season I may as well work, give it my all and win as many tournaments as possible.
