However, Allen responded with a 65 break in frame six, despite Brown having a chance to counter. Allen then made a 71 in frame seven to seal a 5-2 win and move on in the £550,400 World Ranking event. Allen stays on track for his third Northern Ireland Open title after winning the last two in 2021 and 2022. At 39 years old, he also remains unbeaten in this season’s Home Nations Series, having won the English Open last month. With 10 straight wins on the circuit, he’s in top form. Mark Allen is on fire, but let’s not forget about Judd Trump lurking in the background. One mistake and everything could change in an instant. Just ask anyone who’s played pool after a few drinks.

Neil Robertson`s recent form

Neil Robertson won a tough 6-4 match against John Higgins to reach the semi-finals of the Champion of Champions in Leicester. The game was close early on, with both players exchanging high breaks. Robertson made breaks of 83 and 127, while Higgins responded with runs of 91 and 81, leaving the first four frames tied. But Robertson took control with two impressive breaks of 115 and 64, leading 4-2. Although Higgins fought back with breaks of 86 and 79, Robertson sealed the win by taking the eighth frame and finishing with a solid 63, helped by an excellent long red in the 10th frame. Next, Robertson will face another four-time world champion, Mark Selby, in the semi-finals on Saturday. Earlier in the tournament, Robertson had beaten Tom Ford 4-1, and Higgins overcame Xiao Guodong 4-3. On Friday, world number one Judd Trump will take on reigning world champion Zhao Xintong in an exciting semi-final matchup.

Neil Robertson Strength

Neil Robertson will now attempt to make amends for his mistakes and subpar performance in this match against Stuart Bingham. He goes into this match hoping to overturn the poor performance he had recently against Joe O'Connor (0-3), Judd Trump (3-0) and Tom Ford (3-0).
