JUDD Trump produced one of his worst displays in a 1-6 quarterfinal loss to Graeme Dott at the Masters on Friday.
Several times Trump, taking on the role of fans' favorite in the ongoing self-imposed exile of crowd pleaser Ronnie O'Sullivan, missed pots by inches or left routine balls in the jaws of the pocket.
Former world champion Dott was not in the best of form himself, with the Scot's only major break a contribution of 111 in the final frame, but he did at least take some of the chances presented by his English opponent.
Judd insisted he would not linger on the disappointment of defeat, saying, "By the time I've got home, I will have already forgotten about it. I couldn't get going. It wasn't there today."
He added: "I tried my best out there but it didn't happen. It's the worst I've felt and played since breaking through."
Meanwhile a bemused Dott said: "It's weird, you expect Judd to play well and sometimes, if someone doesn't play well, it puts you off. He really struggled from the first frame. I've not had any form for the last four or five months and even today I felt I missed a lot of bad shots. It was going to be hard for Judd to live up to how he had been playing."
