THE PREDICTION

Former finalist Michael Smith averaged 106.32 – the highest of the tournament so far – and also hit 75% of his doubles when he blitzed past Ron Meulenkamp in the second round and his game looks in excellent shape as he aims for another deep run at Ally Pally. William O’Connor, meanwhile, produced a professional performance to see off struggling Glen Durrant last time out but facing Smith in this form is an altogether different prospect and Bully Boy looks like the clear favourite to progress to the fourth round.
