Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the 2024 German Masters qualifying match.
Tian Pengfei
Tian Pengfei is not an example for the others, but an average player. Statistics of the last games of the Chinese player shows that there has been a disturbing series of lost matches. Yes, he has won against some opponents, the ones who have let him do it. In this game, Pengfei got very lucky with his opponent.
Reanne Evans
Reanne Evans doesn’t have an equal opponent among women in snooker. However, her performance among men leaves much to be desired. She managed to win some men this summer only to lose later with a huge gap. Currently, she’s not able to be an equal opponent for a man in professional snooker.
Tian Pengfei – Reanne Evans prediction
Reanne Evans can win a frame, but it’s the maximum of what she currently can do. I’m not going to make a bet on a handicap of the favourite. I suggest that there will be a century break. Tian Pengfei can make them even in games like this, despite many of his defeats.
