Carter vs Williams Prediction 13 September 2026

There’s little reason to believe that Carter will maintain this level of form going forward. He’s simply reached a point in his career where he needs to deliver a breakout performance. Allister’s confidence is certainly one of his strongest assets, but swagger alone isn’t enough to guarantee consistent results. In summary: it’s been a solid week, albeit not without its ups and downs.

It’s the last two matches of the tournament that truly stand out. First came a dramatic comeback against Zhou Yuelong, followed by a commanding win over Ding Junhui. The semi-final was as clinical as they come - 6-2 on the scoreboard says it all. Allister rattled off five frames in a row, racking up four breaks of 50-plus and capping the day with a century.

Over his last three matches, Mark has certainly shown that it's far too early to count him out. He’s enjoying a strong week and displaying real grit throughout the tournament. He’s seen off Barry Hawkins and Liam Davies, and his clash with Shaun Murphy could well go down as one of the season’s highlights. Why? Let’s break it down.

How often do you witness a snooker comeback from 1-5 down in a best-of-11 format? That’s exactly what happened here. Mark Williams was on the brink of defeat, yet managed to claw his way back, capitalizing on his opponent’s mistakes on the final colors. This isn’t just about luck - such a turnaround takes serious experience. Williams clinched the decider with a 69 break, and racked up six breaks of 50+ in a single evening.
