Kyren Wilson vs Jimmy Robertson Prediction: Can Robertson challenge Wilson?

In the Saudi Arabia Masters round ⅛, Kyren Wilson will play Jimmy Robertson. The last time these two players met, Wilson secured a win in what was a tough encounter. Can Robertson get revenge in this one?

Kyren Wilson will play Jimmy Robertson for the second time within one month and will hope for a favorable result. The last time these two players met in the China Grand Prix, Kyren Wilson secured a 5-4 win and will come into this encounter as the favorite. Looking at his recent matches, Kyren Wilson has won each of his last eight games, defeating Judd Trump, Ronnie O’Sullivan, and Ricky Walden in that run. 

Jimmy Robertson has been impressive in the last months, and I hope luck is on his side in this encounter. In the Saudi Arabia Masters, Jimmy Robertson won four different matches, taking on John Higgins in his last encounter, which ended 2-5. In the meantime, other encounters saw him defeat Thor Chuan Leong, Zhengyi Fan, and Mohamed Elkhayat. Heading into this game, Jimmy Robertson has lost only one of his last seven matches, coming against Wilson in the China Grand Prix. 

This should be another of Kyren Wilson’s games. At the moment, Jimmy Robertson is in hot form, and I respect that. In the meantime, Kyren Wilson looks undefeated right now, looking at the players he has faced over weeks and defeated and his results in this fixture. This could be a tight one, though, like their last meeting, but a handicap win for Kyren Wilson looks very certain.
