Well John Higgins is playing well these days and he is fatter by the week ,and looks ten years older than Ronnie ,I think the WPBSA might have to reinforce the table if Mark Allen and Higgins get drawn together .

No way can I play to the same standard as I did when I was in my thirties. My back is so stiff I can’t get down to have my chin on the cue like I used to be able to do.

Hope he wins the tournament though and goes on to pick up another world title . Time is running out for the rocket , the years will catch up with the class of 92 at some stage . If Ronnie doesn't win worlds I would love to see John or Mark win another.. world title . Interesting to hear Hendry talking about his comeback and how he enjoyed it .

Well that didn't disappoint did it, crackin' match, worthy of a final. Looks like it's going to be a tough ask to see off ROS if he keeps this form. Bet he's glad he stuck around now.

He wanted to pull out of tournament and give Jordan Brown a chance to play. He still wanted to receive some prize money though... bit cheeky I thought. Anyhow those in charge weren’t having any of it. He’s turned up and ahead in the match.

Great ! Higgins V Rocket tomorrow. Will John Higgins still maintain that purple patch of form which saw him hammer O Sullivan 10-3 last time out. If he does it will be fascinating
