Judd Trump v Wu Yize Tips

Judd Trump has won three of the four head-to-head meetings with Wu Yize, and I fancy the world number one is going to be a hard man to beat now we are in the last sixteen. Judd made the final last week in Northern Ireland, and I am siding with the Englishman being his swashbuckling best to beat Wu Yize.

Wu is a great player and on his day is capable of beating top players. But he will need to be on it here vs. Judd, who is likely to step up now.

I think this match can be close. Throughout the year, they both made more than 70 50-plus breaks or above. I see this one could go the distance.

Trump’s consistency and proven ability to dominate strong opponents suggest he will cover the handicap margin in this matchup: I foresee him controlling enough frames to extend beyond a narrow victory.
