Trump vs Williams Prediction 4 April 2024
Match Preview
In the next quarter-final match of the Tour Championship between Judd Trump and Mark Williams, there is an undeniable favorite, and our prediction obviously takes this nuance into account. Will the world's number two manage to take revenge for the tough December defeat at the Macau Masters (2:6)? Sportbooks hardly doubt it. We, for our part, will refrain from loud statements for now.
Trump is clearly aiming to finish the current season on a high note, as he still has plenty of energy. At the end of March, Judd won the World Open. However, he does not intend to rest on his laurels. Overall, this season the Englishman has won a total of five trophies, tying with Ronnie O'Sullivan in this respect. In long matches, the athlete does not always feel comfortable. Though, when gaining a comfortable advantage at the start, he usually brings things to a logical conclusion.
Williams is hard to call a fervent contender for the championship title, as he is in mediocre condition. Over his long career, Mark has conquered all imaginable heights, but maintaining proper motivation is quite problematic. Yesterday, for example, the Welshman nearly lost to Tom Ford (10:9), having the upper hand throughout the match. The athlete makes a lot of mistakes in individual frames, which sooner or later will lead to another failure.
In this duel, Trump, from our point of view, will not leave any chances for Williams. Judd has significantly better prepared for the meeting from all perspectives, and we expect that this time he will fully exploit Mark's pronounced weaknesses. The victory of the English representative with a handicap of -2.5 is the priority choice for the match.
