RONNIE O’SULLIVAN VS THEPCHAIYA UN-NOOH PREDICTION

Ronnie O’Sullivan has, unsurprisingly, been making headlines for his comments around the staging of the World Championship in the lead up to this opener and there are question marks around whether he is in the right state of mind to perform to the best of his ability. Indeed, he could be in for a tough match here; it was no surprise that Thepchaiya Un-Nooh came through qualifying as he is enjoying his best season on tour and is currently at a career-high 20^th in the world. If the right Ronnie O’Sullivan turns up then he should of course win this but an early exit is not out of the question. Whichever way it swings, this looks like a match that will feature over 15 frames.
