Adam Williams presents his prediction for the English Open qualifiers match.
Bai Yulu
Bai Yulu received a tour card as the Women's World Champion, Bai beat Mink Nutcharut 6:5 in the final. Bai also has victories in the recent UK Women's Championship and the 2023 British Open. However, while Bai plays well in matches with women, she struggles in matches against men, even losing to amateurs. This season, Yulu has lost all four matches.
Dean Young
Dean Young started the season poorly with three defeats in the Championship League. But then he beat Robert Milkins 5:3 and lost to Jimmy Robertson only in the deciding frame 5:4 and to Alfie Burden 4:3. Last season, Young had a series of several defeats in a row, but now he is playing better.
Bai Yulu — Dean Young Prediction
Of course, Young plays poorly in the matches against professionals and won’t be able to go far in tournaments, but in the match against Bai Yulu, he has a good chance of winning. It seems to us that in this game, both Young and Bai will have chances, but at the moment Yulu is not yet able to beat men on a regular basis. Therefore, we can bet on Young's victory.
