Shaun Murphy vs Gary Wilson Prediction

Shaun Murphy is the man of the day with one of the most perfect games of all time. These are two good snooker players, and with the level of performance they showed in their various rounds of matches, I expect solid play from them. Since both competitors have a chance of winning, we anticipate a very challenging competition. However I believe Murphy`s historical head-to-head victory over him in the last three matches will play again in this encounter. Even the bookies support this analogy.
