Saudi Masters

[Fader]

Ok, we finally can start getting into the season now as the Saudi Masters starts, today. Showing they have spending power in both Football now, and Snooker.

I'll take Bingham from the top, who seems to be having a bit of an uptick in form. He beat Ronnie in the QF of the Worlds last season and made the Semi-Finals. He has started decent enough to the Championship League and a few other smaller tournaments, too. I think the format will suit him.

In the bottom half, I'm going to take Murphy & Gilbert. I couldn't decide about Gilbert or Jak Jones but I think Gilbert has started the better this season and also the best of the head-to-heads. Murphy has already made the final of the Shanghai Masters this season. He has beaten the likes of Higgins and Selby along the way.

3.5pts Day to beat Donaldson 4/7 WillHill
1pt accy - Day, Gilbert, Saengkham & Guodong 6/1 Skybet

I'm taking Day to make it to the last 32, today. Day has looked decent recently and has won four of the previous five matches. He's also scored well, scoring two centuries in the 4-2 win over Moody and two 50+ breaks in the 5-3 win over Hongyu. Day also leads the head-to-head 6-0. He beat Scott 10-0 in the Worlds (2023) and then10-9 in the Worlds this year, too

I'll also have a go at a 4-fold for the later matches. 6/1.
