Head-to-head statistics Fan Zhengyi - Davies



Fan Zhengyi Player Overview
Fan Zhengyi have displayed average form over their last ten matches. The Chinese player has compiled four century breaks and 19 breaks of 50 or more during this stretch-a testament to his confident attacking game. His highest break reached an impressive 119, underlining his ability to capitalize on strong positions at the table. However, a recent 1-4 defeat to Anthony McGill could indicate some minor inconsistencies or a search for rhythm after a run of positive results. Defensively, there is room for improvement: opponents have managed one century and ten 50+ breaks against him in recent outings, suggesting Fan are not yet fully neutralizing their rivals’ scoring opportunities.

Liam Davies Player Overview
Liam Davies heads into this match riding the momentum of a strong run-he has claimed victory in seven of his last ten outings, a testament to both his consistency and mental resilience in tight finishes. In his most recent clash with Hammad Miah, the Welshman edged out a narrow 4-3 win, demonstrating his composure under pressure right up to the final frame. Statistically, Davies outperforms his opponent in terms of half-century breaks, racking up 26 so far, but trails slightly in century breaks (3 to Fan's 4). His highest break stands at 113, just shy of his rival’s best, yet the frequency of his sizable contributions highlights his ability to deliver under duress. On the defensive end, however, there is still room for improvement: opponents have compiled five centuries and seventeen half-centuries against him over the same period, leaving some openings for rivals to exploit.

⭐ Editor’s Prediction
When it comes to current form, Liam Davies have the edge thanks to a steadier string of wins. Fan Zhengyi, meanwhile, have shown flashes of brilliance-his four century breaks are a threat to any opponent, but the recent heavy defeat to McGill highlights some defensive inconsistency. With no clear-cut favourite here, this match is likely to be a drawn-out affair featuring short bursts of momentum from both sides; the temperament of both players suggests we should see at least six frames. The most logical bet looks to be on over 5.5 frames-both players regularly take frames off top-tier opposition and possess similar levels of attacking output.No comments
