Okay, only the final remains...
In the context of these two players' careers, having them meet in the Masters final is not anything unusual, but in the context of recent results it's not the pairing we expected, and probably not a pairing many people wanted either. They've both played well to get here, but it's probably fair to say that none of their opponents played anywhere near their best, so they didn't need to do produce anything special to reach this final. It's not been the most exciting Masters in terms of close matches and standard of play, so I'm hoping the final genuinely ends up being the highlight of the week. As for who is going to win, I think it's an extremely close call. Bingham is the better player at this point in time, but not by a lot. He's also won the last few big matches between them, while Carter has the edge in the head-to-head throughout their career. I don't know... Bingham to win 10-9?
