Mark Williams v Graeme Dott
The odds are short but I still think there's a little bit of value here. I went 1.2-1.33 on Williams.
He's been in superb form this season with his record now standing at 54-11. That's a 83.1% win rate. He's won 66.9% of the frames he's played.
In comparison Dott has won just 64.3% of the matches he's played and 54.6% of frames.
Williams has won 11 of their previous 15 matches including the last 5.
He's won the title in this Arena before and already has a ranking title to his name this season too. In the post match interview yesterday he talked about how he didn't feel nervous at the table.
Without a ranking title in 11 years you wonder whether Dott can be as composed if he gets himself in a position to win this.
In terms of break building Williams has 150 breaks this season of 50 or more. Dott has 77. Williams has knocked in 29 centuries, Dott just 5.
I think there's quite a big gulf here and the fact Williams has that added experience of winning in this arena and a title this season I'd be surprised if he lost this one.
