Neil Robertson vs Ricky Walden Result, Score & Stats

📣 Robertson has claimed victory in three of his last five matches, cruising past Alexander Ursenbacher 6-0, Lu Hongyu 5-2, and Lei Peifan 5-1 back in September. However, the Australian consistently struggles against Walden: the Englishman leads their head-to-head with six wins in nine encounters, including a current streak of four consecutive victories. Walden also enters this tournament on the back of tight wins over Ding Junhui and Ali Carter—both matches ended 5-4.

Both players bring experience and solid recent form to the table, setting the stage for a closely contested match. Robertson’s break-building prowess allows him to dictate play, but Walden has repeatedly disrupted his rhythm and excelled in deciding frames. Eight of Walden’s last nine matches have gone at least six frames. Even if Robertson manages to snap his losing streak in this matchup, a 4-2 or 4-3 scoreline seems far more likely than a one-sided rout. Prediction: over 5.5 frames.
