More from Judd

He continued: “Yeah this tournament is incredible, it’s one of my favourites. I always look forward to coming back here.

“I think it’s Kyren’s first time getting to the one-table here and it’s one of, if not the, best venues to can play at. It’s incredible.”

Judd Trump admits Kyren Wilson was ‘too good’ as he fell to a 9-3 defeat.

He was going in search of his 5th title in Belfast but had a mountain to climb after the first session.

He said: “It was obviously difficult coming back at 7-1 down but it was an amazing reception.

“It inspired me for one frame then I missed an easy ball!

“Kyren was just too good today and the way he’s bounced back is inspiring and it’s nice to see someone be able to kick on.

“Hopefully in the future we can have many more battles.”
