Josh Rock vs Tommy Morris prediction

Tommy Morris, still without a Tour Card, did not have a ranking title at the start of the month. He now has one, along with places at the Players Championship Finals and the World Championship.

Morris won PC34 in Leicester in early November, beating Wessel Nijman, Jermaine Wattimena and, in the final, Luke Humphries 8-5 with the aid of a match-winning 167. He arrives in Wolverhampton as one of the form players looking to make a name for himself on the big stage.

Josh Rock truly announced himself with a run to the quarter-finals at this event in 2023 and 2025, but his form this year has been patchy. He beat Morris in their only previous meeting in May, but his opponent is a different proposition now.

While the form is with Morris, bringing his A-game to the big stage is a different proposition altogether, so we are reluctant to back him. Over 7.5 legs looks like a safer market in this one.
