Will we see the 'new' J.Trump this morning? The big question mark against him pre-tournament was his ability to handle the unique pressure of The Crucible. You wonder if his lacklustre performance yesterday was a reaction to R.O'Sullivan's defeat (he started really flat in his SF match against S.Bingham 4 years ago, after O'Sullivan had gone out, and the match everyone was waiting for, Trump included, didn't materialise). Maybe, he just had an off-day, and he is playing one of the better qualifiers, who in streaks is very, very dangerous. But, if Trump is the heir apparent to the throne, he needs to prove it from the off today - if he doesn't, those question against him will be asked even more loudly.

I thought it was quite obvious that, like Ronnie (and Dave Gilbert), he looked a bit under the weather yesterday. He was definitely struggling with the table, too.
As you say, Theppy is a streaky player who blows very hot or very cold, so Judd has GOT to come out and play better than he did yesterday, otherwise he could easily be an also ran for another year. |

By:
Yes, fair points Lata, but neither reason should be used as an excuse if he does lose (remember he cited a mystery illness after losing here to R.McLeod?) The table is definitely an issue, and I think it played a part in R.O'Sullivan's insane shot choices after the interval during the 1st session of his match. Trump needs to step-up, and overcome these adversities. If he negotiates today (and that's a big if) he is clear favourite to win this for me.
|
|
By:
Yeah, I think the other thing that we have touched upon on here before is that he is often more vulnerable against players he's "supposed to beat" than the big guns.
Should be an interesting first mini-session. Get off to a flyer and the 11/8 could look an absolute gift. If he doesn't he's down to praying that cold Theppy turns up for a while. |

hills going evens for a century in every match
all 13 of the 1st round matches to have started/finished have had at least 1 ton of the 3 remaining matches yet to start I have worked out its around 4/9 for 1+ tons in all 3 of the matches therefore giving 4/11 for a ton in the 15 matches after the 1st round |

By:
correct lats judd is far better off (and you are far better off when betting him) when he is playing somebody decent, particularly somebody who he wants to smash to smithereens
|

By:
Not quite as juicy as the pre-tournament price, is it?!?
![]() Does anybody else feel like they've not seen Baz play for an absolute age? |
|
By:
I think they've got it covered @ evs but I'll cheer it up for those who have played
|
|
By:
laid some stake out of thepchaiya @ 8/11 think that's as short as you could have him tbh
|
|
By:
Totally agree. Suspect he'd be bigger if Lumpy hadn't piled on at 1.7 at the close last night.

Lovely start

Juddly now reliant on nerves from the young Thai phoon unless perfect.
6-2 from here a big ask. |
|
By:
composed play earlier in the ssn seems to have gone out of the window, back to plan A which didn't work before & won't work now
|
|
By:
Theppy does have a shocker in him
|
|
By:
judd's in trouble here
|
|
By:
I'm convinced it's psychological. I don't know whether he doesn't think he needs to play properly against players outside the top 16 or whether he thinks there's an expectation that he's there to entertain and so doesn't feel he always can play the right shot. Either way, it's holding him back.
