Snooker

Not much time to wallow in the two nicely priced winning tips, and not much to reinvest some winnings in today. I don't like betting on the FA Cup as you never know what sides Premier League teams will put out, so I'm going to stick to yesterday's winning venue, Wembley Arena.

1.30pm Williams to beat Doherty 6-4 6/1 (LOST 6-2 +20.74 - form really went out the window for these two in what was a high quality match. It all looked to be going well at 2-0 to Williams, but then Doherty played sublimely to go to 4-2, before a couple of mistakes by Williams let Dohert close it out - watch Doherty for the rest of this tournament now)
Before the Uk Champs last month this would have been a wooden spoon match for two former top, top (as Jamie Redknapp might say) players. Both lost in the first round of the Shanghai Masters, both were hammered (Williams 5-1 in 1st Rd, Doherty 5-0 in 2nd) by Gerard Greene in the Northern Ireland Trophy. And Doherty lost in the first round of the Royal London Grand Prix. Williams however, found his form, and made his way to the quarte-finals where he lost to eventual runner-up and favourite of this tournament Steven Maguire, with some excellent performances in two 9-5 and 9-3 wins. So Williams has taken favouritism with the bookies, justifiably so, and if you want to be cautious back him at 5/6, but after yesterday lets be a little reckless and go for another correct score. I don't expect Williams to embarrass Doherty but I do expect him to have control so I'll plump for 6-4.
