DAVID GILBERT VS CHRIS WAKELIN PREDICTION
While the higher-ranked Dave Gilbert – a four-time ranking finalist and former semi-finalist at the Crucible – will go into this first-round clash as the favourite, Chris Wakelin will have cause for hope on what will be his second main draw appearance in Sheffield. The 29-year-old came through a tough draw in qualifying earlier in the week with Matthew Stevens and Xiao Guodong among his victims while he reached the fourth quarter-final of his career at the Gibraltar Open just last month. Gilbert has had some notable results himself though, most notably reaching the last four at the Masters in January before bowing out to John Higgins and he is marginally favoured in this match, where he is likely to be pushed all the way.
