Wright also said that as well as wanting to play better he wanted to hit a ton plus average and if he would have done that he would have been the only one to do so in round one.
"I wanted to play a lot better than I did tonight," said Wright, the 9/2 second favourite with sponsors BetVictor.
"Ideally I would've produced a ton-plus average but there's a long way to go in the tournament and I'm confident I will beat Kim in the next round."
