Match preview

1. First of all, congratulations to Zhao Xintong, Trump, and others for making it to the semifinals.
2. Both semifinals today are top-level clashes and very exciting to watch.
3. In the first semifinal, Trump goes up against Higgins. Both are highly skilled players; Higgins has consistently reached the top four in ranking events and is very strong, while Trump is ranked world number one and even stronger. My personal prediction is Trump will win 6-4 or 6-5 to advance to the final.
4. In the second semifinal, the head-to-head record shows Zhao Xintong trailing 1-2 against Mark Allen; however, Zhao won the most recent encounter.
5. Zhao Xintong has shown excellent long potting accuracy and strong consecutive scoring in recent days, especially yesterday scoring 142 points in a single break against Shaun Murphy (the highest in the tournament). This morning, Mark Allen just defeated Selby 6-2 with powerful offense and solid defense, starting with five straight frames against Selby.
6. I personally think if Zhao maintains his long potting precision and fast-paced attack to pressure Allen early and drag the match into the later stages, he will have the advantage. Of course, if Mark Allen uses defensive tactics to disrupt Zhao’s rhythm, he might win.
7. Regardless of how it unfolds, my personal prediction is Zhao Xintong will win 6-4 or 6-3 over Mark Allen to reach the final, and possibly even win the championship. What do you all think?
