The latest news on December 15, 2021 Beijing time, the world's second-ranked Judd Trump said after defeating Ben Wollaston that he would rather play with top players than face low-ranked players, because it is really difficult for him to win against low-ranked players. Trump will face Tom Ford in the next round, a very good player, so Trump is setting the stage for his next fixtures. Trump believes that it is a bad thing for one of the top players to be eliminated at any time, because it makes the game lose too much anticipation and drama.
Trump: Playing low ranking players is a bad thing
In Trump's view, playing against a low-ranking player at the beginning of the game is a bad thing because it will leave him with insufficient concentration. Trump said: "I think it's a bad thing for me, I'd rather play against the top players from the start because I seem to lose a little bit of attention when playing against the lower ranked players. It didn't seem like I could get focused in the game or play at my best, so I didn't want to face low-ranked players at the start of the game. For me, I'd rather play against the top players. In fact, whenever the top players are out, I think it's a bad thing because it's not good for the game to watch and the fan base to expect. ”
Trump: Winning is more important than performance
While Trump still wants to play well, he thinks winning is far more important than playing well. Trump said: "In the game, the most important thing is to forget who you are playing against and go straight there to play, but now it is difficult for me to play against the players who are ranked lower. Objectively speaking, winning in a big game is more important than an individual performance. I had a lot of chances at the beginning in the game against Wollaston, but I was prone to mistakes, and Wollaston managed to give in to those opportunities completely. In the fourth inning, he missed the blue ball after a beautiful far-court attack and the game really changed after that. His mistakes punished him and in the end I was happy to win. So even if I don't do very well in this game, as long as I can win the game, it is a very important result. ”
TRUMP: Successful promotion is a good result
Top-winning favourite Trump thinks successful promotion is a good outcome, because only on this premise can you create more possibilities. Trump said: "To win the showdown is to qualify successfully, especially in this game and the major event. If you don't want to lose in the first round, then passing the first round is a good result. There were a lot of people on the field tonight and I really wanted to play a good game. I love the crowds, and I love sharing my passion and joy with them. But I didn't play a good game, which made me a little sorry. Although I didn't play at my best, I was very good in the standings, so I'm happy to qualify. For me, success in major events is still the most important. If you want to be the best in the world, you have to come up with good enough grades to speak. Even if your game is not good, the audience does not like you so much, and you need to achieve your dreams in the game. Thankfully, my performance is ok and doesn't disappoint the fans and spectators too much. So winning the game in the next time will be very important because it will be a reflection of your value. ”
