Kyren Wilson vs Barry Hawkins Prediction: Who will take the trophy home

The 2022 European Masters competition which started with 64 professional Snooker players on 16th August will finally come to an end with a blockbuster fixture between top top Kyren Wilson vs Barry Hawkins. It has been a memorial experience with full entertainment with players performing at their best and gave their best. When both Kyren Wilson vs Barry Hawkins, we hope to see a very tough contest, entertaining and players who are very determined to win this big Snooker competition to their major laurels. 

It is fair to say it was not an easy one for the committed Wilson. Wilson has shown throughout the competition that ranking 8th in the world Snooker is something he has earned through hardwork. From the beginning of the competition where he faced Chinese Lyu Haotian in the round of 32, where he won 5-1 to the Semifinal round against fellow Englishman, Ali Carter where he had his biggest performance having had to get a comeback twice before he won 6-5 has shown his desire and how good he is. According to him, after the match against Carter, Ali turned it on from 4-2. You can't afford to let him off the hook," Wilson said in his post-match interview."I was pleased with how I responded at 5-4 down. I made two good breaks and kept the pressure on." Over the years, Wilson had been able to win 6 tournaments including the Champions League, the German Masters and some other four. With the fact that he has not won the European Masters before with his best chance at Quarter Finals, it will now be a huge chance for him to make it 7 trophy in his cabinet and a winner of this classic tournament.

The 30-year-old will face Barry Hawkins in a repeat of the 2018 Paul Hunter Classic final at the same venue, when Wilson emerged victorious. Barry Hawkins has done well since the start of this competition. He has conceded less points in this tournament with total of 8 points conceded while scoring 36 in total of 5 matches. Therefore, we hope the underdog performs at his best again in the final. In his last match against Mark Williams in which he won 6-2, Barry Williams did well get a point each after Mark Williams got a draw in the 4th frame. In what seemed impossible for him, Barry will hope he gets another big performance as he is even more anxious of winning this tournament after all these big displays of performances. In a match that is not expected to go Barry Hawkins way, we hope to see him fight for this challenge and hopes he get a win.

Both players have met for several years since 2010. However, their rich history together can be attributed to how good they are in this big name sport. With head to head performance of 25 matches together, Kyren Wilson has won 13 times with the remaining 12 in favor of Barry Hawkins. It is important to note that Wilson got his first win against the mighty Hawkins in their 6th meeting together. However, after that, he has gone to even won more matches that Barry Hawkins in their matches together. With Wilson winning their last five matches together which dates back to 2019, we can not deny the fact that he has the high chance of winning this match. However, it will not be an easy one for him, looking at how well his opponent has performed throughout this tournament. Also, with the frame at 17, it will be best to go for over 14.5 total score looking at how both players score points.
