Allen vs Yize Prediction

This World Championship is full of surprises and intrigue, which might have left Mark Allen under the radar, despite his impressive performance. The snooker player, for instance, took down Kyren Wilson with a score of 13-9. It's worth noting that Allen doesn't always start strong in this tournament, but he gradually gains momentum. A great example is his quarter-final match against Barry Hawkins, which ended 13-11.

In the first session of this battle, Allen was trailing 3-5. By the second session, he was behind 4-7 but managed to level it at 8-8. Then came the decisive third session with two flawless frames at 11-11. It was an engaging match with solid potting accuracy-72 percent for Allen and 74 for Hawkins-but victory went to the one who held his nerve under pressure. Allen managed six breaks over 50 points and three centuries in this game.

The Chinese player didn't just win his first match in Sheffield this year; he followed it up with two more victories. One of those triumphs came against Mark Selby (13-11), which is impressive on its own. Wu Yize is demonstrating remarkable mental resilience, especially considering his age. He isn't easily intimidated by top-tier players.

For reaching the World Championship quarterfinals, some credit goes to Judd Trump. He made Wu Yize's path a bit easier, as Hossein Vafaei was a less challenging opponent. The 13-8 scoreline speaks volumes. It was the most one-sided match in the quarterfinal stage. The first session ended evenly at 4-4, but after that, the Chinese player steadily increased his lead all the way to the end. In this match, Wu Yize notched up eleven breaks over 50 points, including two centuries.
