Bet of the day: White beats Perry in Champion of Champions

White beats Perry is bet of the day

Welsh potter Michael White enters his Champion of Champions opener on day two in Coventry to face Gentleman Joe Perry, having qualified with his first ever ranking tournament victory earlier this year, and he is 6/5 with Coral as our bet of the day to overcome his veteran opposition.

The 24-year-old rallied to an impressive Indian Open triumph in March, thrashing talented cueist Ricky Walden 5-0 in a devastating whitewash, proving he has all the potting attributes to go on and clinch many tournaments in his career, including this one in Coventry.

Young potting promise

White, who was the youngest player ever to make a competitive century at the age of just nine, and was world amateur champion at only 14 years old, also outpotted compatriot Mark Williams on the path to that Indian victory this year.

The Welsh wonder therefore enters the Champion of Champions full of confidence, in what will be only his fourth ever match-up with experienced circuit veteran Perry, with his odds of 6/5 extremely tempting in this day two meeting.

Currently ranked as the world number 16, this talented Neath-born break-builder will hold a mental advantage going into his Perry contest, having toppled the 41-year-old in their most recent match in a Snooker Shoot-Out encounter.
