THE PREDICTION
Darius Labanauskas produced a stirring comeback from two sets down against John O’Shea on Wednesday afternoon to book his spot in the second round at Alexandra Palace. However, the likelihood is that he will be progressing no further in the event as he faces a player who, perhaps somewhat surprisingly, joined the winners’ circle this year when he took home the European Championship title. Smith has never advanced beyond the third round at Ally Pally but, on the back of that victory in October, is bound to be confident of at least matching that this time around. Labanauskas did not impress from a statistical perspective against O’Shea, averaging just 83.78, so a confident Smith looks like a comfortable winner in this one.
