Anda vs Williams Prediction 18 May 2025

3.70. That's the odds the Chinese player had in the last round. Predicting a commercial tournament is challenging due to the lack of sporting motivation. Judd Trump seemed to be just going through the motions, appearing to have come to Finland merely for a paycheck. The Englishman wasn't himself: there were numerous unnecessary mistakes, and most importantly, a lack of visible desire. Nearly every shot was a struggle for Trump, and in a seven-frame format, that's fatal. Anda didn't play brilliantly, but he was consistent and seized his opportunity successfully. In all likelihood, things would have been different in a ranking tournament. Well, now we just have to wait for it to begin.

Mark possibly delivered the most thrilling match of the quarterfinal stage. He and Shaun Murphy played out every single frame. It was a vibrant encounter, as neither wanted to give an inch. The players were truly evenly matched, but Williams had luck on his side at crucial moments. Mark maintained impressive 50+ point breaks, which ultimately became the key to his success. The Welshman unexpectedly arrived at the tournament in great form and spirits. Watching his play is a delight. And what if he were to face Zhao Xintong now? It wouldn't make much difference, as the Chinese player is simply too good. However, against any other snooker player, Williams is ready to fight to the end. There's no doubt about that.
