Wakelin vs Chang Bingyu Prediction 21 December 2025

Chris has had an impressive tournament. He secured confident victories and rightfully made it to the ranking final. However, when compared to his opponent, there are some questions, particularly regarding the status of their competition. Chan has faced top players, whereas Wakelin hasn't had such matchups. Nonetheless, this doesn't detract from Wakelin's achievements.

Wakelin performs well in Scotland exactly where it counts. He may not play brilliantly, but sometimes it's enough to simply make fewer mistakes. Two matches stand out in the tournament-most notably the recent ones. Let's highlight the win over Zhou Yuelong, and take a closer look at the clash with Selt.

Wakelin won the semifinal match 6-4. He took the first three frames and then maintained his lead with controlled play. His impressive break-building is worth noting: he managed six breaks over 50 points, including two centuries. Surprisingly, Selt, with his limited number of half-centuries, managed to win several frames. Does that seem unreliable? Chris could have finished off his opponent earlier but, for some reason, didn't.

It's clear that the Chinese player is having the tournament of his life. Few could have anticipated such a remarkable performance from him, but that's the reality now. Bingjiu has navigated a draw filled with top-tier opponents, surprisingly without any issues. His resilience was on full display once again in the semifinals.

What happened against Allen might even overshadow his matches with Selby and Kyren Wilson. The scoreline read 6-1. You all saw it. Allen was indeed overly methodical, as we noted in our previous prediction. Bingjiu simply came in and claimed victory. Bettors could rest easy with their wagers. Chang was exceptional, rarely making mistakes. He recorded four breaks over 50 points and two centuries. A well-deserved spot in the final.
