Neil Robertson is in the final again or is destined
Judging from the past game data of the two sides, Jimmy Robertson's weaknesses are mainly in the distance accuracy and defense, while the current Neil Robertson is the best player in the world today, and he is also known as the strongest top player of the season. If Neil Robertson can get his accuracy at a normal level, then Jimmy Robertson's game will be very difficult to play because it means he will be under pressure on multiple fronts. But that doesn't mean Jimmy Robertson doesn't have a chance, because the game of grabbing six tests the player's play, and if Jimmy Robertson can play first to get the lead, then he still has a little chance to win. But combined with Neil Robertson's previous performances, the probability of this happening could be very low, as Neil Robertson's play this season has been too stable. Even against O'Sullivan, Neil Robertson was able to play well. This is very frightening, because O'Sullivan is the only being who can suppress Robertson. Robertson didn't even have any pressure after beating O'Sullivan, so the back games would be more favorable to him, so he could advance to the final or be sure.
