yeah you said that before too... Still a long way to go.. but a strong contender if he remains in this form... and that of course would follow the pattern since 2007...

No way, the pressure might come off Judd a bit now. Higgins however, just proving he still has it in him to be the best in the World.

I'd love to see a new winner, prefarrably Selby, but who can live with John Higgins in this form over multiple sessions?

I thought it was only ever John who gets luck,who,s lucky,(according to some that is)!.

I'm not seeing it. He hasn't had a single break in the double digits this entire session. Well excluding that little knockabout for table time in frame eleven.

Higgins misses on 48. Judd can still win, but hard with the balls where they are.

Judd not good on the blue and plays safe. Anyone's frame.

To be fair, John didn't give Judd much of a chance in the opening four frames.

Higgins pots the blue and goes in off. Judd misses the blue and the safety continues.

Yeah I agree Skull... I'm 90% certain Higgins will have this now...

Down to the black. Most dramatci frame of the match so far.

Higgins doubles in the final black. Six in a row.

This'll really hurt Judd. He can justify to himself losing the others as he barely had a sniff. But he could've won this one.

WOW!!!

What a frame of snooker, it had all the tension of a final frame decider, had Trump nicked it then it could have been all different. Now I'm certain Higgins will take the title.

A great double Higgins fashion makes him lead for the first time, 8-7... Judd may well not win a frame this session the way it's going

What a frame it was indeed that 15th frame,especialy from the last 4 col0urs!.





Higgins snatches it on the black by potting a double to the middle bag!.




8-7 to higgins!!

And of course Eurosport will only show some mere highlights from this epic final....

Again, they disappoint by not showing a final of a ranker live... especially those outside UK... what a disappointment... I'm glad I'm watching it and don't have to rely on some highlights which will most probably only show a few frames

I'm not entirely sure how they'll pick what the highlights are. The only definitive thing I can think of is the max, but everything else has been amazing.

Judd getting nervous here. Wouldn't expect him to miss that normally.

wow whats happening
I didnt see the first five frames of this session but the 15th was very exciting

Judd finally wins a frame his session and proves me wrong.. hope this regains some of his confidence... he badly needs it

Judd finally takes his first frame of the session. Testament to his temperment after that last frame. Higgins hasn't won it yet.

Looks like Trump will finally get a frame on the board this session

Century as well with some good exhibition shots at the end.

amazing century break from Judd to stop the rot and make it 8-8

Wonderful century... this break, Dotty's break to level at 4 all and Williams break in the 4th frame against Mark Davis the best of the tournament so far... Higgins 147 too

in the UK Final Mark Allen came back at him with a vengeance but Judd withstood it to Win.

FANTASTIC century from Judd there to make it 8-8!.

the problem is here it isnt Mark Allen Wild, it's John Higgins and you know how much pressure he can put on opponents EVEN if they are still leading... because they know if they miss John wil hunt them down..

Exciting final no doubt... epic one

Plus Mark never got in front of Judd, Higgins has.

Higgins misses if Judd clears up it will really hurt Higgins here... CMON JUDD
