Well done John, another dramatic win. Starting to look like Ken in 2003 this.

Hope he doesn't burn out.

[Rane]

Congratlations to Higgins. What a finish. Selby must be regretting that plant deeply now.

[matoski]

Again John proved that he is the best player the world has ever seen. It doesn't matter whether he'll win the championship or not, he is just the best, period.

Amazing break under the most amazing pressure!

[zombieman]

Unbelievable the level of concentration this man is capable of.

This has got to be one of the best pressure breaks of all time.

The match had 'decider' written all over it right from the start, and it took two great players to get there. Well done to both.

[Nat5guns]

Higgins has got to be the best at handling immense pressure, surely this is his WC!?

[Jake]

What an amazing match! glued all the way!

[Elaine]

only one word for me..... gutted
This match really deserved to be played in the final
Mark is such a top class player but his main weakness is imo in wrapping up close matches

well Congrats to John
that was an exceptional performance and I really hope he wins his 3 world title from now on

Well I've saved my 600th post for this:

WELL DONE JOHN HIGGINS!

An unbelivable match, a truly deserving winner.

I really hope he's on his way to number 3.


I also hope Selby's role in this has been taken in. He gets a fair bit of stick on here for being unsporting or negative in his tactics. I've watched all 25 frames of this match I haven't seen any evidence of this.

Im pretty overwhelmed with the match I've seen over these two days. The two semi's could be up there too

[JiangYu]

Higgins - by far the best player on the circuit at handling pressure at close matches!

[rivercard]

I'm very happy that John has won, no wonder even O'Sullivan has so much respect for him, he's great under pressure. I hope these last 2 matches won't take out too much from him and he will be able to play like this for a few more days.

[Odrl]

Fantastic. This has to be one of the best matches of all time, certainly one of the best I've ever seen. It really had everything. Started off with 4 centuries and a 90+ in the first session, peaked with one of the greatest safety duels in recent years midway through the final session, and finished with a twice re-racked decider. Did John Higgins ever look like missing at the end? I can't find a bad word to say about the man.

I feel bad for Selby, for me he has been the second best player in the tournament so far. I think he could have met John Higgins in the final, had that been possible.

Big day for snooker.

[JiangYu]

I'm gutted for Selby though - he's quickly becoming my favourite player! One thing is for sure - Selby will be World Champion more than once!

[ferret]

As you said don;t worry Mark WILL make it one day.


So there may be two Scotts in the final!!!!
