Interesting, the tournament favourite gone in the 1st round, even though he had an easy draw on paper. He did take advantage of it in the early stages, when Joyce was clearly nervous, but somehow the pressure turned on Trump in the second half of the match. :smile:
I did say the UK and the Masters was the moment of truth for Trump, and unfortunately he seems to be following in the footsteps of the likes of Robertson, Ding, Selby, having a good period in a season, then getting a disappointing result when you least expect it.
At least some of the opinions about Trump setting new standards and opponents being afraid of him will surely be reconsidered now. :wink:

What a shocker! Hopefully that match will turn out to be a very valuable, if rather costly lesson for Judd, he looked absolutely pig sick.
Give me that sort of tension over your super fast big breaks any day.
-The fast and the furious,
The slow and labourious,
All of us, glorious parts of the whole!

No in all seriousness its very difficult at the top now in snooker, gone are the days of the 90's and even for periods during the 2000's whereby you could ease your way into a tournament. Players like Joyce are extremely dangerous opponents now, they are match sharp because of all the tournaments, they have nothing to lose either as the underdog. No player will go through a season of complete domination because of the quality of players around, you simply cannot play well all the time.
What Trump will now have to learn or adapt to is trying to save himself for tournaments like the UK and WC's. He has been in good form for about 2 months with tournament after tournament and it was noticable last week in the PL semi and final that he was starting to look very jaded. He simply needs a good 2-3 weeks break from playing and come back refreshed for the 2nd half of the season. He should now put all his efforts into getting ready for the crucible because it will be here in no time. I certainly wouldn't write off a couple of bad weeks which is all its been in a 10 month season.

the coverage on the BBC website is poor too, keeps buffering all the time what with the sheer volume of people watching, makes it impossible to enjoy the match when the footage keeps stopping for 3-4 seconds all the time. Can't believe the BBC have made these cuts, just cancel Eastenders or Strictly and they'll save more money that way.
