Jimmy Robertson vs Mark Williams Prediction: End of the road for Robertson

The quarterfinal encounter of the Saudi Arabia Masters between Jimmy Robertson and Mark Williams will take place at the Green Halls in Riyadh. Heading into this game, the two teams are off an incredible run of performance. Who will make it to the semis?

Jimmy Robertson is on a run of games without a defeat and will be confident of securing a semifinal spot here. In the round 1/8 encounter against Kyren Wilson, Jimmy Robertson secured a 4-6 win, good enough to see him make the quarterfinal. However, Jimmy Robertson has now won five consecutive matches, four others coming in the Saudi Arabia Masters. Heading into this game as an underdog, just like his encounter against Wilson, we can expect Jimmy Robertson to play at his best, show character and approach this game with his best tactics.

Mark Williams got past Stuart Bingham well in a 6-2 encounter in the quarterfinal and will enter this one with confidence. In recent matches, the Englishman has been quite impressive, losing only one of his six matches, coming against Xu Si, in a game that ended 4-5. In the meantime, other encounters against Mark Davis, Liam Graham, Chris Wakelin, and Thepchaiya Un-Nooh. Heading into this game, Mark Williams is the favorite, and will hope he can get things right here. 

Following his strong performance against Kyren Wilson, there is no doubt what Jimmy Robertson could do in this fixture. In the meantime, Mark Williams comes into this game as the favorite, and the Englishman has not been too poor. While this should be a competitive encounter, I do not see Jimmy Robertson making it to the semis; hence, it is a win for Williams.
