Nathan Aspinall vs. Gerwyn Price

Winner: Gerwyn Price, 5-3

Both matches should be very close, and it starts with a match between an Englishman and a Welshman.

Each is coming off two drastic performances. Aspinall had a dominant win over Ryan Joyce, averaging over 105 in a 3-0 whitewash.

Price had to come back from down 2-0 in sets, but has gotten better in each contest this week.

A good case can be made for Aspinall to win, but Price will be riding quite the high after beating Jonny Clayton, so expect a third straight final at a major for Price.

Luke Humphries vs. James Wade

Winner: Gerwyn Price, 5-4

Wade has slowly improved after a slow opening match against Joe Cullen.

His best performance was his recent clash against Gian van Veen in the quarter-finals.

Humphries, on the other hand, has been dominant this week, as he’s won eight straight sets and has lost none.

Wade has consistently made some deep runs at majors, but a hungry player like Humphries is going to be tough to overcome.
