Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Masters match.
Neil Robertson
The Australian keeps on performing poorly. He’s lost the form he once had. Recently he hasn’t played as many matches as the other players do. We’ll see if this pause is good for Neil, who says that everything’s perfect during his training. However, Robertson has won only one out of the last 7 matches.
Barry Hawkins
Barry keeps on being stable, following his old school style of playing. Hawkins managed to beat Judd Trump in the European Masters at the end of summer. He performed well after that, too. Hawkins plays in a different style compared to Robertson. It doesn’t matter now, though as the Australian has been in a very poor form.
Neil Robertson – Barry Hawkins prediction
Hawkins will be happy to beat Robertson, who has been a problem in many matches, especially finals. Barry could have had more titles. I’m going to choose a bit of a complicated option for betting, which is justified based on the current form of the players.
