However, the 32-year-old said he is indifferent by his sluggish beginning to the competition and accepts he is fit for moving forward a level when he faces Anthony McGill, a previous semi-finalist, in the second round the following week.
“I never play well in the first round here, yet regularly something clicks as the competition goes on,” said Trump. “There were simply such a large number of simple errors and I don’t get a handle on that happy with playing there. I simply don’t feel like I will clear up without fail – that mindset’s not there.
“In any case, the matches are so lengthy here that anything can change. It allows me the opportunity to not play well one day, and the following match I’ll play my very best. It’s difficult for me to play well each and every time.”

Saengkham, who lost a last casing decider to Mark Selby in the second cycle two years prior, terminated two centuries in the main meeting on Wednesday, yet Brecel gave himself trust by getting the last two edges of the day.
Three continuous casings upon the resumption moved Saengkham one from triumph and he had a sniff of a 147 to wrap up the success in the wake of preparing the initial six reds and blacks with every one of the balls in a decent position. Yet, after Saengkham steered into the rocks, Brecel, who arrived at the last of the UK Championship and won the Scottish Open in December, hit back with his most memorable 50 years of the match to decrease the deficiency.
