Steve Davis takes on Robert Milkins in what appears to be the match of the session. Steve Davis is in really good form at the minute. Since he made the semi final of the PTC out in Warsaw he’s played some lovely snooker. Whether it’s a relaxed attitude or the competitive matches I’m not sure but he’s scoring really well which will always make him competitive with his safety game as good as ever. Davis qualified for the UK Championships and comes into these qualifiers high on confidence.
Robert Milkins is a solid player too. He began 2011 by making the final of the Sky Shootout where he lost to Nigel Bond and he began this season well too by qualifying for the Shanghai Masters where he beat Stephen Hendry before losing to Mark Williams. He beat Mark Selby in PTC5 but hasn’t been beyond the second round of any tournament since. Milkins doesn’t hang about in his game but sometimes that’s to his detriment and leads to him being quite erratic.
With the form he’s in I think Davis will have too much for Milkins here. Milkins isn’t overly profligate in the tactical department and he can often miss balls you would expect him to get with his fast style. Davis is scoring well and should be able to lessen the chances Milkins has and I think will win this and set up a final qualifying match against Stephen Hendry.-http://www.punterslounge.com
