Neil Robertson vs Julien Leclercq Prediction

Julien Leclercq is in pure form for this fixture. However, I was rooting for Neil Robertson to win his match. So far, Julien Leclercq has been breezing through the draw. I really like him. He has great cue action and reminds me of someone very skilled. It’s hard to understand why Julien Leclercq hasn’t had more success on tour. When he is in the flow, he really is a top quality player. He’s thrashing Jak Jones here and making it look easy. Hopefully more wins to come this season for the Belgian Beast. However, an upset win will add more fun to this game, however I don't think now is the time. So I am going for Neil Robertson to get the win.
