Wu Yize vs Robbie Williams

💣 Wu Yize and Robbie Williams are set to clash at the International Championship following a strong tournament start for the Chinese cueist. Wu Yize cruised past Hammad Miah with a commanding 6-0 win, extending his impressive run of form. Earlier, he dispatched Judd Trump (6-1) and Shaun Murphy (5-4), demonstrating his ability to beat some of the world’s top players. Robbie Williams also advanced through qualifying, overcoming Gong Chenzhi 6-2, but in his most recent outing, the Englishman fell to Mark Williams 2-4.

Wu Yize’s advantage is backed not only by his current form but also by the head-to-head record. Their only previous meeting ended with a 6-4 victory for the Chinese player, and since then Wu Yize has taken his game to another level, regularly defeating elite opposition. While Robbie Williams is capable of putting up a fight, it will be tough for him to keep pace over the distance against such an in-form rival. That’s why we recommend backing Wu Yize with a -2.5 frame handicap.
