Adam Williams presents his prediction for the Saudi Arabia Masters snooker match.
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ronnie O'Sullivan beat Zhang Anda 6:5 to reach the quarter-finals. Ronnie made too many mistakes on easy shots, but Zhang did not punish the seven-time world champion. Ronnie was down 0:3, 3:4 and 4:5, but he won with a 78 break at the critical moment. After the match Ronnie said that he was not happy with his mistakes, now there are a lot more of them, so he does not feel as dominant.
Si Jiahui
Si Jiahui beat Pang Junxu 6:5 in a thrilling match. Si had a good start to the season, except the defeat to Gong Chenzhi at the Grand Prix in the second round. In the rest of his matches, Si played very well. At 22, Si is ranked 22 in the world and is ready to achieve new achievements this season.
Ronnie O'Sullivan - Si Jiahui Prediction
Ronnie could certainly have problems in the upcoming match if he does not improve the situation. Last season, Ronnie beat Si 4:2 at the English Open. And now I think that Ronnie will win, maybe not as confidently as I would like, but O'Sullivan is objectively stronger, I hope he wants to make amends to himself and play today at his usual level.
