    Wu Yize Player Overview

    Remember the International Championship in China, where the title was claimed by a Chinese snooker player. Back then, the tournament followed an 11-frame format, just like this Masters. Yize hit an incredible stride that was unstoppable. The hint is clear: in London, he's looking just as impressive. His performances are stacking up.

    Yize won his first match in the Masters with a 6-2 victory, sending the reigning champion Shaun Murphy packing. That was already a strong statement. But who would have thought he would win his quarter-final match with a 6-0 scoreline? This time, it was Xiao Guodong who fell. The young Chinese player showcased shot accuracy at 88 percent, notching up five half-centuries and a century. You get it: he crafted a break in virtually every winning segment. It's something extraordinary. This level of play has certainly influenced the odds for his semi-final match.

    Kyren Wilson Player Overview

    For quite some time, the notion of a semifinal and Kyren Wilson seemed incompatible. That streak can now be considered over. Kyren is once again just a step away from the decisive match, but it appears the challenges aren't entirely behind him. The snooker player has already navigated a path filled with trials. Yet, that's what championship character is all about-overcoming obstacles.

    Let's set aside Si Jiahui, as there was no real contest there. Wilson simply secured the win. You're likely more intrigued by the match against Neil Robertson, where they had to play the maximum number of frames. Wilson emerged victorious with a 6-5 scoreline, despite leading 3-0, 4-1, and then trailing 4-5. It was a rollercoaster ride, ultimately won by the player who managed to calm his nerves at the right moment. Wilson notched up two half-centuries and three centuries, with a shot accuracy of 69 percent.

    Editor's Prediction

    Here's an interesting point: Kyren Wilson struggles when facing opponents in their prime form. He has lost to Jack Lisowski in Ireland, Neil Robertson in Saudi Arabia, and Chang Bingyu in Scotland. It seems that the world number two lacks a backup plan when everything is going right for his opponent.

    This is telling, as Wu Yize is currently in exceptional form, drawing parallels to his performance at the International Championship. It's also worth noting that the back-and-forth battle with Robertson in the semifinals was energy-draining, regardless of one's skill level. Meanwhile, the Chinese player has already demonstrated his focus and determination. So, let's get straight to it: our pick is Wu Yize to win.
