Yize vs Hawkins Prediction

Will Wu Yize and Barry Hawkins delight us in the quarterfinals of the German Masters with battles as intriguing as their recent Scottish Open encounter (4:3)? This question is key to our prediction. Both snooker players are showing commendable performance this winter. Thus, the match promises to be filled with a plethora of interesting events.

Wu Yize

Yize is capable of conquering a major tournament in the foreseeable future, as he is in excellent form. At the same Scottish Open, Wu came close to triumph (top-2) but failed to break the resistance of Pangfei Li (5:9). The representative from China often lacks composure in crucial moments, although he is gradually improving in this aspect. Yesterday, the athlete won a no-compromise fight against Mark Allen (5:4), making a phenomenal comeback from a 2:4 score.

Barry Hawkins

Hawkins got an extra day of rest due to Rick Walden's withdrawal from the competition, which in itself is a significant advantage. As he gets older, Barry is increasingly struggling with serious loads. However, he is still capable of "firing" in short bursts. The athlete is just a small step away from returning to the top ten of the world ranking, which surely served as additional motivation. A couple of months ago, the athlete nearly conquered the UK Championship (top-2), managing to significantly unsettle Judd Trump (8:10).

Editorial Prediction

In this match, in our humble opinion, there is no clear favorite. Since the aforementioned head-to-head confrontation, the sides have not transformed beyond recognition, and it is logical to assume that they will please fans with another intriguing fight with an unexpected ending. Total over - our choice for the match.
