Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 Masters match.
Shaun Murphy
Shaun Murphy beat Zhang Anda in the previous round 6:2. But it was an easy walk for Shaun with all due respect to the Chinese player, who debuted in this tournament. Although Murphy said he was training during the holidays. But whoever watched the match against Zhang, could see Murphy making mistakes. This is why I don’t see why he’s the favourite of this match.
Jack Lisowski
Jack Lisowski eliminated the current champion Brecel (6:2). That was a problem of Brecel thinking he’s a star after gaining the main snooker title. Jack Lisowski seems to be calm and focused. He’s overcome a terrible decease to play at the world level. He has been making many century breaks.
Shaun Murphy – Jack Lisowski prediction
I believe the opponents to be equal. Any of them deserves to be in the semi-final. This is why I can’t predict who’s to win. I will predict the century breaks, which both players can make well.
