He’s right. I was far too conservative.
Good answer by Higgins. 11-8.
Being able to watch Ronnie O’Sullivan in this form is true public service broadcasting.
My brother in law is off to Sheffield this morning - he has tickets for the first and last session of the final.
Lucky git. And he’s not even hugely into snooker.
103 break for John Higgins. 12-9. Needs a few more like that.
Gilt edged chance for Higgins here. The sort you’d have a thought of 147 about before even potting a ball.
He makes 16.
Another century - this time from Ronald Antonio.
Feel sorry for Higgins there. Very unlike him.
John Higgins thumping his cue off the ground in a similar style to how the young Boris Becker would thump his racket off the ground at Wimbledon.
Heads gone
Fork time for John Higgins. Had a very good chance to take this frame “against the head” but broke down again. 14-9. Surely no way back now.
Head totally went. Never seen him slam the cue like that before.
15-9 Ronnie. Another century
Maradona at the San Paolo.
Messi at the Camp Nou.
Connolly at Parnell Park.
O’Sullivan at the Crucible.
I used the O’Sulllivan Connolly comparison myself only yesterday.
Judd misses an easy one and Williams in. Has to win this to really increase pressure on Judd
Place is lifting here behind Williams
Had to play save there
Trump wins the all important opening frame for 14-11 after Williams misses on 43.
