Champion of champions predictions

The second semi-final of the Champion of Champions sees old foes Neil Robertson and Mark Williams go to battle in what promises to be a mouth-watering best-of-11 encounter, and the value could lie with the Welsh Potting Machine.

Williams is often a tough betting proposition, but the manner in which he won 6-5 over world champion Kyren Wilson in the Group Three final on Tuesday suggests this could be the right time to get him.

The 49-year-old tends to save himself for the most lucrative events these days and he was completely focused and clinical against the Warrior, sealing the deal with breaks of 140, 109, 72, 71 and 56.

Williams had squandered a 5-3 lead but recovered exceptionally well as Wilson stole a tight tenth frame when the Welshman was unlucky with a cannon when he was just a few pots away from victory.

A resurgent Robertson will have his supporters after tournament victories over Ali Carter and Judd Trump, but a tight battle could favor the tactical attributes of Williams, who has also shown this week that he can match the Australian’s scoring prowess.

The Thunder from Down Under claimed his first title in more than two years at the English Open, but it would be an exaggeration to say he is back to his brilliant best and he may face an opponent similar to the English Open in Williams to come. to cook.
