    Ronnie O´Sullivan Player Overview

    Well, nothing out of the ordinary happened. O'Sullivan, the favorite for the Veterans' Championship, has made it to the final. The difference in skill level is quite evident. "The Rocket" isn't even playing at full throttle, yet the victories keep coming his way.

    Take, for instance, his match against Robert Milkins (7-5). O'Sullivan should have closed it out with a larger margin, but he decided to have a bit of fun. He gave his opponent too many opportunities, despite showing excellent break-building. It seems like the legend might just secure at least one title this season.

    Joe Perry Player Overview

    Joe is delivering an outstanding performance at the Veterans World Championship. He seized his opportunity and made the most of it. Although seeded, the snooker player has overcome strong opponents. Each victory was hard-fought.

    Joe defeated Aaron Canavan, Matthew Stevens, and then Craig Steadman in the semifinals. Steadman arguably played his best match of the season and held his ground as much as he could. Credit must be given to Perry for showcasing remarkable mental resilience. This could be crucial in the final, as there's no doubt about his motivation-unlike Ronnie.

    Editorial Prediction

    Perry has already had his moment in the spotlight, but the final will be played over 19 frames, making it an exceptionally tough challenge for him. Let's not forget: Perry doesn't hold professional status and isn't accustomed to long matches at the moment. O'Sullivan, on the other hand, is expected to claim the title as he needs something to salvage what's been a disappointing season so far. Our pick is Ronnie O'Sullivan to win with a -4.5 handicap.

    Our choice
    Ronnie O´Sullivan Handicap (-4.5) at odds of -110*
