The Masters 2021

If this is something to go by in the future. Watch out Judd, Neil, Selby, Kyren and the others. The class of '92 is not done yet.

That was by far the best I've seen John play in the last ten years. I didn't believe he still has that in him.... I repent. Wow.

So I glad I watched this.

Higgins playing as good as I've seen him, it may be just me but it looks like his cue is more under his left eye than it has been in recent years.

I thought that as well.

[Starsky]

Fantastic to watch wasn’t it .

He really upped his game there Higgins and credit to Ronnie for responding as he did . He didn’t do that much wrong apart from a couple of loose safety shots and a big twitch on a red .

I think John said in his interview he had shortened his bridge a bit. Seems to be working out for him. A few other players have said similar in the last year or so

[fkhan]

I think Higgins will win this tournament.

I think Higgins will win this tournament.

He may well do ,but that performance against Ronnie could be his peak .

His best performance of the decade I guess.

And all those saying this was 'yet another walkover' for O'Sullivan were... what's the word? Oh, yeah. Wrong. Again.

Vintage Higgins this was.
But, while I agree that this was outstanding and maybe his best match in a few years, he had some similar strong performances over the last years in single matches. But his problem has been the consistency. His level of play was varying pretty wild. So this performance doesn't make him the overwhelming favourite immediately, though I won't argue against favourite.

[Starsky]

Never really watched Bingtao play before this tournament . An interesting player for somebody so young . I fancy him to win the tournament .

Yeah , I believe Hendry said it’s a walk over for Ronnie and it’s his to lose .

That was fantastic indeed if you mean the three cushion escape from behind the pink.

4-4 now.

This is slipping from the champions grasp.
