Gilbert vs Wilson Prediction 2 May 2024

The optimal source of information about the semi-final match of the World Championship between David Gilbert and Kyren Wilson is our prediction. Well, English derbies at the decisive stages of major competitions always delight with a lot of fascinating events. Whereas in this case, additional interest arises because both snooker players were not initially considered fervent contenders for the trophy.

Gilbert has only once performed so solidly in the current competitions (top-4 in 2019). However, his path to triumph was then interrupted by the legendary John Higgins (17:16). In general, lately, David has rarely been in leading roles, as competing on equal terms with the best of the best time after time was not successful. Now, however, the representative of England has transformed beyond recognition, which allowed him to leave no less than 5 competitors out of contention. Nevertheless, in the fateful battles, the athlete will definitely have a hard time. Especially considering that he has not received such serious loads for a long time.

Wilson also demonstrated mediocre snooker for the lion's share of the current season while remaining a very talented player. After a series of failures, Kyren deservedly dropped out of the top-10 world ranking, but thanks to a solid performance in Sheffield, he will return. Partly, the Englishman remains in the title race due to a comfortable draw. Although this does not negate his merits. In all three games, the athlete confidently resolved all issues (13:8, 13:6, and 10:1), saving a lot of energy for the key surge.
