Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Saudi Arabia Masters snooker match.
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Nobody knows how Ronnie O'Sullivan will play. It seems that even he doesn't know it either. Ronnie spoke very flatteringly about the organizers of the tournament and assured that he wants to please the fans. In tournaments in China, Ronnie reached the semi-finals twice, losing to Judd Trump 3:10 and Kyren Wilson 4:6. But in the early matches Ronnie won very confidently without feeling any resistance.
Lei Peifan
Lei Peifan lost three qualifiers before the tournament in Riyadh - to Oliver Lines 3:4, Jackson Page 3:5 and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh 3:5. As we can see, there was a struggle in all the matches, and Peifan didn't not give up frames. In the qualifying matches for the Saudi Arabia Masters, Lei defeated Bai Yulu 4:2, Jamie Clarke 4:3, Robbie Williams 4:3 and Joe O'Connor 5:3. It was not easy in all the matches, and I think that Peifan has already made the minimum program, having made it to the main draw of the tournament.
Ronnie O'Sullivan - Lei Peifan Prediction
O'Sullivan's game is far from perfect, but even in such form, Ronnie confidently defeats his opponents. Lei Peifan has already earned 20,000 ranking points and has significantly risen in the ranking, so he can play relaxed. I think Peifan is capable of taking a maximum of two frames from Ronnie, O'Sullivan will certainly want to play spectacularly in his first match at the tournament.
