Mark Williams v Ali Carter World Open Snooker Betting

Whatever follows in this year’s revitalised World Open it will certainly remembered for that 147 made by Ronnie O’Sullivan yesterday. In the space of three frames he showed his frailties and his genius in almost equal measure, Thursday’s match against Jimmy White promises to be a corker.

The biggest match of today though is the first match of the day when Mark Williams takes on recently crowned Shanghai Masters champion Ali Carter. Carter has admitted to “running on fumes” towards the end of his third round match against Thepchaiya Un-Nooh whilst Williams was emphatic in dispatching Igor Figueiredo 3-0 inside 45 minutes.

Ladbrokes offer odds of 5/6 on each player winning this best of five contest which gives an accurate reflection as to how evenly matched these two players are when at their best. However, based on the first round performances I think we have to side with the Welshman on this one. A second consecutive 3-0 win for Williams also pays at a juicy 5/1 or you can back him to edge it in a decider at 7/2.
