Ryan Joyce vs Ryan Searle Prediction

Ryan Joyce has beaten two tricky customers to reach the third round as the Englishman has overcome Darius Labanauskas and Danny Noppert.

Both wins came by a 3-1 scoreline and the win over 13th seed Noppert was particularly impressive as he raised his game to record that win. In both matches, he registered good averages of 92.97 and then 93.88, and he will know that if he can repeat those kinds of numbers here, he is in with a chance of beating Searle.

Ryan Searle beat Canadian qualifier Matt Campbell in the second round as he eased to a 3-0 win. Searle was ruthless in his checkouts recording a 52.9% (9/17) average that include a stunning 164 checkout.

In that kind of form, Searle is capable of challenging even the world’s best players and he will be eager to maintain these levels.

Searle has to be favoured to get the win here and while Joyce is capable of taking a couple of sets, he will struggle to keep up with Searle if he hits the heights that he showed last time out.
