    Mark Williams Player Overview

    Mark has become the oldest semifinalist in World Championship history. He's navigating the draw with some challenges, but consistently comes out on top. The intensity of the competition is only increasing, yet Williams, despite his vision issues, is handling the pressure.

    The quarterfinal against John Higgins concluded with a scoreline of 13-12. These two veterans put on a thrilling contest where neither was willing to give an inch. The deciding frame ended 74-69, and if you missed this match, you missed quite a spectacle. Both players managed to string together several 50+ point breaks, though century breaks were less frequent. We eagerly anticipate the next round. Williams' season stats: 50 matches played, a win percentage of 57%, with 98 breaks over 50 points, 34 century breaks, and no maximums.

    Judd Trump Player Overview

    Judd is competing in this tournament like a true world number one, giving opponents opportunities but consistently securing victories. Only the first round can be deemed flawless; there are certainly questions regarding his other matches.

    In the quarterfinals, Luca Brecel stood in the Englishman's way. The 13-8 scoreline doesn't quite capture the oddities of the encounter. Initially, Trump led 5-1, then trailed 5-7, and the match even reached 8-8 before he shifted gears, making it hard for Brecel to keep up. It was a peculiar match where a bit of luck was involved, but another opponent might not show such weaknesses. Trump's season statistics: 94 matches played, a win percentage of 79, 228 breaks over 50 points, 104 century breaks, and no maximums.

    Editor's Prediction

    Judd needs to take stock, as his match against Brecel wasn't flawless. As the world number one, he must build momentum and bring his best game to the upcoming match. Williams, meanwhile, might have reached his peak, having already had a great tournament run. We're in for a marathon of 33 frames, presenting an even tougher challenge than the previous round. The encounter with John Higgins will surely have taken its toll. Our bet is on Judd Trump to win with a -4.5 frame handicap.
