A quick history lesson:
UK Champion 2003: Matthew Stevens
Masters 2004: first round defeat
UK Champion 2004: Stephen Maguire
Masters 2005: defeat in the Wildcard round
UK Champion 2005: Ding Junhui
Masters 2006: didn't play
UK Champion 2006: Peter Ebdon
Masters 2007: first round defeat
UK Champion 2007: Ronnie O'Sullivan
Masters 2008: first round defeat
UK Champion 2008: Shaun Murphy
Masters 2009: first round defeat
UK Champion 2009: Ding Junhui
Masters 2010: first round defeat
UK Champion 2010: John Higgins
Masters 2011: first round defeat
I'll sum this up for you:
No reigning UK Champion was able to win even a single match in the Masters for 8 straight years in a row now.
My conclusion:
Judd Trump will lose in the first round in 2012.

I think there's no way it won't happen.

You can't really use that as a comparison unless you use the masters from 1978

I'm half tempted to offer to make it interesting.

Crazy set of stats. Ding wasn't top 16 in 2006, sure he would have bucked the trend but it's pretty crazy anyway to see the records over recent years.

Yes, it does make interesting reading. It just shows the quality of all members of the top-16, that the UK Champion has struggled in the first round the past few years.

It's normal that the best players would take an event like the UK more seriously than the Masters
