O´Sullivan vs Yize Prediction 21 March 2026

The "Rocket" has been playing sparingly this season, but when he does, he makes it count. While his former brilliance might not be as evident, once Ronnie gets going, he's incredibly hard to stop. Arriving early for the World Open, he demonstrated his competitive spirit, which his performances throughout the week have only confirmed. The legend has already secured two whitewashes against his opponents.

It's worth noting that among the top players, Shaun Murphy was the only significant opponent for the Englishman. However, that doesn't diminish the snooker star's achievements. For instance, in the quarterfinals, O'Sullivan dismantled Ryan Day with a commanding 5-0 victory. Yes, it was vintage Ronnie, showcasing his remarkable break-building skills: he notched up two half-centuries and three centuries. The trend continued in his match against Shaun Murphy, where he recorded four half-centuries and one century.

This is a significant challenge for the Chinese player on home soil. Over the past year, Wu Yize has firmly established himself as a top competitor, claiming his first ranking title and giving the favorites a run for their money. There haven't been many head-to-head encounters with the 'Rocket,' making the upcoming match all the more intriguing. Yize is currently in excellent form.

The Chinese snooker player has showcased impressive skill this week. Notably, in his last two matches, he convincingly defeated Kyren Wilson and Mark Allen. The clash with Allen was a quarter-final battle, which Yize won with ease, racking up three half-centuries and two centuries. Prior to that, against Wilson, his break-building was also outstanding (three breaks over 50, plus one century). How will he fare against the legend?
