Pink Ball's top matches: last 32, match 16

And round off the first-round draw, match 16 of 16. 72 hours to vote:

Ronnie O'Sullivan 17-16 Mark Selby, World Championship 2020 (2)

VERSUS

Alex Higgins 9-8 Stephen Hendry, Irish Masters 1989 (31)

This is a no-contest. Higgins' last hurrah was wonderful, compelling, but the other match is already burned into snooker history, and it only happened, what, three weeks ago?

I reckon the majority will say the Ronnie match. Due to fanboyism and it being recent.

This one is really difficult for me because these are two of my favourite matches. Against any other match, I would choose Higgins' Last Hurrah.. But I have to go with the Ronnie v Selby semi. It's just a bigger match and the last frames are too special.
