ANTHONY MCGILL VS RICKY WALDEN PREDICTION

Anthony McGill has had a solid if unspectacular season on tour but he will have fond memories of the Crucible having surprisingly reached the semi-finals of last year’s world championship and that could spur him on to play to his ability here. Walden is very much in the journeyman category these days and perhaps not the player he was a few years ago but he is a former semi-finalist in Sheffield himself having progressed to the last four in 2013 so neither of these players will be overawed by the situation. The pair have only met once before with McGill getting the better of his opponent at the 2016 World Open and he is marginally favoured here to win what could well be a scrappy contest.
