It wasn’t as big a surprise as Luke Littler’s 6-4 defeat to Andrew Gilding in the next match.
But the manner of Wright’s departure stunned viewers.
The 54-year-old only averaged in the mid-70s for much of a brief contest.
And that would have made him no match against any elite player.
One fan posted: “Up there with one of the worst performances I’ve seen by a so called top player.”
Another wrote: “Not even gonna lie, as a massive Wright fan: That was just sad. Every time Wright looks like he might be turning a corner, he does something like this.”
A third pointed out: “74 average, no attempts at doubles.”
A gobsmacked fourth said: “Unreal, he couldn’t find a treble to save his life. Poor performance heading towards world champs.”

And a fifth claimed: “Genuinely the worst performance I’ve ever seen from Wright in a season of sh*** performances.”
However, other viewers were baffled as Wright appeared to be putting his game in order in recent weeks – after a rough few months, including in the Premier League.
One said: “Thought Wright had found some sort of form.”
Another added: “Wow what happened for Wright, been so good on euro tours last couple of weeks.”
Meanwhile, more sympathetic darts lovers s urged the Scot to keep going and restore his pride at this year’s World Championships in December.
