Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Xi'an Grand Prix snooker match.
Ronnie O'Sullivan successfully reached the quarter-finals, leaving no chance for Hussein Vafaei 5-0. The match went exactly as we expected. Ronnie made two century breaks of 104 and 103 points and controlled the entire match from the first minute, not giving his opponent a chance. Ronnie continues to gain momentum before the decisive matches and the upcoming tournament in Saudi Arabia, where spectators will expect a bright game from him. Ronnie wants not only to make show in front of the fans, but also earn good prize money.
Matthew Selt spent a lot of energy to reach the quarterfinals. Selt was losing to Gong Chenzhi 0-2, 2-3 and 3-4, but successfully won in the deciding frame 5-4. Selt only made one big break of 77. And before that, Matthew beat Joe O'Connor 5-4 and Hammad Miah 5-2. That was not easy for Matthew to reach the quarterfinal, and we don't think his energy is endless.
We don't see any chance for Matthew Selt’ victory. Selt has never beaten Ronnie in head-to-head matches, and his way through the tournament was tough. We suggest betting on Ronnie’s victory and him making the highest break in the match and more century breaks.
