Trump plays on Saturday's opening day, against Iran's Hossein Vafaei, while O'Sullivan has to wait until Wednesday."It's different to be playing on the first day, so nice to get involved in the tournament straight away. It has been a good season and I feel a lot more confident than last year."Trump has won the English Open, Wuhan Open, Northern Ireland Open, German Masters and World Open in 2023-24, but lost 10-7 in the World Grand Prix final to O'Sullivan.
"Unless I win it's a failure. If I go home from a tournament and not won, it's a failure. It's a horrible feeling, losing, and anything less than a win is not good enough. Even if I lost to Ronnie in the semi-finals it would feel a failure." No first-time Crucible world champion has retained his title, and the 29-year-old believes he can break the so-called 'Crucible Curse'.
