Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 German Masters qualifying match.
Jack Lisowski
This year is coming to an end, with qualifiers in the schedule. Sheffield hosts the qualification tournament for German Masters that will take place in Berlin. Jack Lisowski reached the semi-finals of the previous tournament, losing to Tom Ford (5:6). Jack Lisowski didn’t show his best skills this autumn. It’s hard to tell how he will play in the qualifiers, so far.
Zak Surety
Zak Surety seems to be an average player who is unlikely to reach something big. However, his progress is obvious compared to what we could see a year ago. Zak Surety doesn’t have important victories and trophies but he has great experience. It’s unlikely that we can see century-breaks in the case of Surety.
Jack Lisowski — Zak Surety prediction
Jack Lisowski is the obvious favorite. However, his performance leaves much to be desired now. Surety will be able to win some frames. So I’d bet on the underdog with a handicap.
