The World Matchplay is back at Winter Gardens on 18-26 July 2026.

This is a maiden encounter for Smith and Doets, and neither has a record to fall back on.

Doets could hardly be in better nick, riding a 3-match winning run.

Smith was in ruthless touch last time out, brushing Niels Zonneveld aside 6–1. Doets saw off Martin Schindler 6–3 last time out, comfortable enough without being flawless.

Doets edges our model at 53%, but that is a whisper, not a verdict. Smith is every bit as live in this.

STATS VERDICT

Doets gets the nod at 53%, but this is as close as they come.
