I feel at home out there on the big stage

China's Ding Junhui beat Alan McManus of Scotland 10-5 in the other match in Wednesday's morning session.

Ding had led 7-2 overnight and withstood a fightback from the 42-year-old McManus, who won the first three frames on Wednesday, to set up a match against England's Mark King in round two.

Dale looked like he might push Trump closer when he won Wednesday's opening frame to cut the deficit to 6-4, but the Welshman then saw the next three frames slip away and with them his realistic hopes of winning.

The consolation of a 147 break and £35,000 cheque beckoned in frame 14 as Dale reached 96 with 12 reds and blacks, only to rattle a long red around the jaws of the yellow pocket.

"It was a tough game at the start and we didn't play too great in the first four frames but after that I stepped up the pace," Trump told BBC Radio Bristol.

"I made a few big breaks and my safety started to get a bit better. I felt relaxed."

He added: "I've had a lot of support over the last couple of days so it's pleasing when people stick by you, even when you're not playing that well. I think people know what I'm capable of and if I get my potting right at this tournament then I'll have a good chance.

"I feel at home out there on the big stage. In a couple of tournaments, when the crowd's not as big, it's a bit disheartening.

"When you come here in the World Championship in front of a packed crowd then you've got to bring your best stuff."
