Mark Williams vs Judd Trump Prediction: Williams will be a tough opponent for Trump

The Green Halls in Riyadh will host the final encounter of the Saudi Arabia Masters. Mark Williams and Judd Trump will be the two players fighting to win this trophy in this year's tournament. How will they approach this encounter?

Mark Williams had a good run of games into this final, starting from his win over Thepchaiya Un-Nooh in round 1/16, which ended 5-4. However, the Welsh professional has done well in picking wins over Stuart Bingham and Jimmy Robertson in games that ended 6-2 and 0-6 in subsequent rounds. In the meantime, Mark Williams faced Si Jiahui in the semifinal and pulled off a 6-3 win. Meanwhile, the Welsh professional player will come in as an underdog in this one and now face a tough Judd Trump in the quest for this Saudi Arabia Masters’ trophy.

Judd Trump will have high hopes in winning this Saudi Arabia Masters title after losing to Kyren Wilson in the China Grand Prix final last month. Starting his journey in the Saudi Arabia Masters, Judd Trump played Wu Yize in round 1/16 and secured a 5-4 win. However, subsequent rounds saw the Englishman defeat Jack Lisowski and Neil Robertson 6-1, 6-3, respectively. In the meantime, his semifinal encounter against Shaun Murphy was tough, but he won in a 6-5 contest. As a favorite, Judd Trump is expected to approach this game confidently and get a positive result. 

Judd Trump is favored to win this game and has been good to deserve it. However, looking at how solid Mark Williams has been in this tournament, it is tough to write him off. The two players are expected to have their chances here based on their quality. Therefore, I believe Mark Williams will stay within the points, a game that should end with many frames.
