Well, what can you say about the way Higgins is playing? Faultless.

this is how John played in the 90s.
he is the only player ever when he was playing Hendry. i never expected Hendry to get back to the table.

2 to carter is generous at the moment.
Whoever has just said if this was Ronnie people would be going mad is spot on and yet John throws these performances in more consistently.

Was it the UK in 96 that Hendry won against Higgins from 9-8 down to 10-9 win?
I seem to remember Hendry could do nothing about going to 9-8 down then poor Higgins never got a shot in the last two frames. Great stuff.

the problem with certain players is their attitude the comments carter and maguire made after the match yesterday suggests they are beaten before facing the likes of ronnie and higgins
But players like selby , ding and robbo face up to ronnie and higgins and believe they can beat them

how can he suck if hes hardly had a shot ?
1st Session: 128(95)-0, 101(101)-1, 78(71)-24, 137(137)-0
the 24 in frame 3 came after he needed snookers

I really hope its him and ROS in the final of the Worlds. A rematch from 2001 would be grand!

hendry did extreamly well just to hold on to his coattails in that match then at 9-8 hendry defined 1 chance snooker with Higgins having 2 shots in the final 2 frames 1 was a break off as hendry made back to back centuries.

Hendry probably did have half the people beaten before he had broke off such was his dominance
ROS has a similair fear factor but not as great as Hendry's!

higgins is playing as well today as he did in the grand prix semi him and robbo traded big breaks and it was 1 visit snooker excep tfor the decider
so anyone who says this form of higgins is unbeatable is talking rubbish

ding Selby and Robbo flopped badly this week and theire belief or lack of it is starting to snake hiss me off.
its about time someone steps it up and bullies Ronnie and Higgins at pension age in to submission.

i admit robbo was poor this week but you are conveniently forgetting robbo going toe to toe with higgins and winning at the grand prix
