Mark Selby has been one of players who managed to take Ronnie O'Sullivan's A-game off the table en route to defeating him in the past. However, with Ronnie showing great bottle and mental strength throughout the tournament, the deciding factor for him will be the firepower he has at the moment. There is no guarantee that cagey frames will go in his favour the way Ronnie has performed so far, not to mention, it's probably asking for impossible to keep it a tight game over the course of a best of 35. He'll need to find scoring patches of his own to keep up in the scoreline at one point or another.
This year's Masters final was their first meeting in a rather long match in quite some time. I think it dates all the way back to 2010 if you look for the previous one. So, one might say there is no psychological edge whatsoever involved with this game at the current moment, at least compared to back a couple of years ago.
If I had to make a prediction, I'd go for Ronnie winning 18-14, with sessions of 4-4, 5-3 (9-7), 5-3 (14-10), 4-4. It looks like it could be an incredibly close match on paper and has the chance to go all the way to the end. Let us see.
