Murphy vs Robertson Prediction 31 January 2026

The world number 7 is having another impressive tournament run. Shaun is on fire right now, and let's not kid ourselves. He's been on an incredible journey, securing several dominant victories along the way. The recent matches in the tournament have been true masterpieces of world snooker.

It's worth mentioning that Murphy first defeated Mark Allen (5-0) and then Kyren Wilson (5-1). Such big names might dazzle others, but not Murphy. His shot accuracy against both opponents stood at 78 percent, with a solid break-building performance. While not spectacular in terms of centuries, there were plenty of half-centuries to go around. These are matches that leave no room for doubt-simply too convincing.

So, what about Neil? The Australian has also made a solid run in this Masters, albeit in a more composed manner. Robertson typically clinched matches through sheer skill. There were moments that didn't go his way, but the level of his opponents left much to be desired. They couldn't provide substantial resistance.

Junxu, Chatha, and Jimmy Robertson - that's the path the Australian took. The score differences were three frames or more. In his latest match, the snooker player defeated another Robertson. A 5-1 scoreline speaks for itself - quick and reliable. Neil recorded one fifty break and a century, with the latter being a 128-point effort. It's worth noting that his accuracy was only at 67 percent.
