Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Masters match.
Ronnie O’Sullivan
O’Sullivan demonstrated his perfect form in the previous game. Even a good performance by Ding didn’t manage to break him, and Ronnie ended the game in the way it was supposed to be. He had a 4’0 lead. It was a great start. O´Sullivan still keeps the first place in the world rating. He will do his best to win the 50th Masters in London.
Barry Hawkins
He’s in the perfect form, too. He beat Neil Robertson 6:3. Hakins is amidst his perfect conditions. To beat his opponent, he has to have everything needed: from luck to the skills of making good far shots and other things the professional snooker player has to do.
Ronnie O’Sullivan – Barry Hawkins prediction
This is the Hawkins who can be a problem for the favourite. It’s not going to be an easy walk for O’Sullivan. This is why I believe that this is going to be a long game, probably lasting until a decisive frame.
