1-1 after both players trading easy mistakes. Not so impressive Higgins, but he rarely is in the beginning of tourneys.

[hoggar]

Back among the reds and black now though, things set for a strong break.

Man... I was expecting alot more from Higginson. He's even got his fair share of chances in every frame but the first but always messed up in crucial times. I refuse to think his final @ Welsh Open 07 and the 147 were a fluke but... :/

[hoggar]

2-1 for Higgins.

[hoggar]

Yes, it was quite unimpressive. Selby didnt have to prove to much for that.

[hoggar]

Gilbert misses immediately and lets Higgins in in a very bad situation, if you happen to play against Higgins.

As Gilbert does.


Higgins quickly misses as well though. Not the greatest of games.

Carter beats Mcleod 5-1, Hawkins beats Fu 5-2, Ryan Day is 1-0 up on Stuart Pettman

Hawkins seems to be back in fine swing.

3-1 for Higgins at the interval.

not the best 4th frame indeed...but higgins' performance in the first 3 was quite good..i can't say a 97,49 and 81 breaks are bad

Well okay then Not the greatest of frames, would be a better choice of words.

[hoggar]

Everything set for 4-1 and another good break.

Breaks down on 56.

good break ended too soon:P....to bad he wil meet Liang next round(if he wins this ).i don't see him wining against wembo.

i hope i'm wrong.meanwhile gilbert at the table, who knows what could still happen

[Ekphantos]

i don't see him wining against wembo.

Well, I don't know, I wouldn't be so pessimistic... Steve Davis managed to get 3 frames on the board against him, so Higgins should do better

[toupihiggins]

classic one from john...2-3 balls away from winning the frame and he misses.watched his games in the last couple of years and every time the same(usually he misses the last ball).

could be the pressure...but i don';t know.didn't see it that often to other players.it's one of john's weak points i guess
