Neil Robertson vs Panchaya Channoi prediction
Neil Robertson won the Champion of Champions in 2015 and 2019, and was runner-up to Mark Allen in 2020. The Australian is back in Leicester after being handed the final invitation as the highest-ranked player not to qualify automatically, but he is coming off the back of a string of early exits in recent events.
This is a huge opportunity for Panchaya Channoi, who earned her place in the field by winning the 2026 World Women's Championship. This will be the 18-year-old's debut at the event, but this is a significant step up in class against a player who has won 26 ranking titles in a stellar career. Robertson hasn't been at the top of his game and Channoi will hope to catch him cold over the short format, but it is hard to go against the Aussie here.
