Gary Wilson v Gao Yang Tips

Gary Wilson’s extensive experience and strong recent performances make him the likely winner against Gao Yang, who is still developing at this level. Wilson’s break-building and tactical nous should ensure he controls the match and secures a victory.

Wilson is 18th in the world ranking but in absolute disaster form with just one win in his last 12 matches since early January.

Wilson’s ability to rack up high breaks and maintain pressure positions him to cover the handicap against Gao Yang. His professional pedigree ensures he can dominate enough frames to exceed the required margin, making him a safe bet.

Gao Yang is capable here of winning this match but at least take it to a deciding frame. He has been in good form and plays Wilson here, who does not have a good record at the moment.
