The defending champion reached the semi-finals of the UK Championship last month, and I do think he is going to go very close to retaining his title at The Masters. He won the only head-to-head with Wu Yize, which was last year, and I think Murphy wins the opening match.

Mark Selby has won five of six matches against Xiao Guodong, and I do think The Jester will be well supported in his bid to win The Masters. Selby won the UK Championship last month, and I think he will continue in that form to beat Guodong in tonight's match.

The last two matches between Zhao Xintong and Gary Wilson were won by the Chinese player, and I do think the world champion is going to win this match. Wilson lost in the first round of the UK Championship, and I think Xintong is going to beat him in this match.

Kyren Wilson won all three matches last year against Si Jiahui, and I do think he will beat him in round one of The Masters. Wilson reached the final last year, and I think he will start this year by beating Jiahui in his first match.

Judd Trump lost in the final of the UK Championship, and I do think he is going to win the Masters this week. Against Ding he has won the last five matches, and I think in round one Trump beats Junhui.

Judd Trump was beaten in the final of the UK Championship, and I do think he is going to be right there in another of snooker's Triple Crown events. I like the part of the draw that Trump is in, and I think the 2019 winner can win another Masters.

Neil Robertson has Ronnie O'Sullivan in the first round, and there are doubts over whether The Rocket will bring his A game. The Australian reached the semifinals of the UK Championship last month, and I do think Robbo can reach the final of The Masters as he is having a very good season.
