Jenson Kendrick - Kendrick looking to stun Grace

After a string of underwhelming performances in his previous bouts, Jenson Kendrick can do nothing more than keep his fingers crossed for a victory here. Even though he has secured a lot of ties in his bouts since the year 2020, Jenson Kendrick has not been successful in claiming victory in any of those encounters. Jenson Kendrick has been unsuccessful in 11 of his most recent 12 matches. Among his most recent opponents were Andy Lee, Jamie Jones, Junxu Pang, Asjad Iqbal, Noppon Saengkham, Mark Davis, and Reanne Evans. During that time period, Jenson Kendrick and Ross Muir battled it out in the Champions League First Stage, and the game ended in a draw with a score of 2-2.

David Grace - Grace as favorite will win with ease

Despite the fact that David Grace's recent results in plays have been below average, he will still enter this clash as a significant favorite. Since April, the Englishman hasn't been able to win any of his past five matches, which means he's been having a lot of trouble doing well in his recent competitions. In those matches, he was defeated by John Higgins, Daniel Wells, Graeme Dott, and Scott Donaldson in matches with respective scores of 10-3, 0-3, 3-1, and 3-5. In the meantime, David Grace earned a tie against Andrew Higginson in one of the matches that took place during that stretch of time, and the final score of that match was 2-2. The match was part of the Champions League First Stage. On the other hand, given that David Grace is the favorite to win this match, we anticipate that he will perform at his highest level, demonstrate quality, and take the much-required victory.

Expert Betting Tips

As a result of the fact that neither player is performing at their peak, we have no choice but to anticipate a competitive matchup. However, taking into consideration what these two players have to offer, we can be certain that David Grace will prevail in this situation due to the fact that he has more experience than Jenson Kendrick, who is not even close to him in terms of level of play.
