Pool - World Pool Masters - Imran Majid vs Alex Lely

• Imran Majid vs Alex Lely

Imran Majid won the Italian Open (Eurotour) this year, and is currently ranked number one in the UK. It seems Majid has developed his game notably over the last years, since he now often finishes high in many European tournaments. He also is number 4 on the European ranking (Eurotour ranking).

But what are his chances against the 2005 European 8-Ball and 9-Ball Champion, as well as the 2005 Italian Open Champion, Alex Lely? Well I'd say they're pretty good. Lely seems to be struggling with his form. On this years Eurotour he hasn't on six tourments finished higher than 17th (lost last 32)! Although one mustn't forget Lely is a very skilled player, and he know what it takes to win big tournaments. He is also a former winner of the World Pool Masters.

My guess it will be a close match, but i hold Majid as a small favourite.
