NO

if Barry Hearn had offers on the table for more Ranking Events he would do it in a heartbeat he is hoping someone will come forward with more Cash to turn some of the PTC in Europe to full Rankers however until then its PTC.

Why on earth have three PTCs in China then there's already a load of ranking events there and obviously the money flowing in - if it's about needing cash for the ranking events why not just have them China instead of Asian PTCs?

PTC in china are for a different reason the pool of players in china is massive but they cant afford to come over here to try Q school..

Next season there's 4 players on the main tour through APTC and possibly a few more depending on results elsewhere but now they got a Order of Merit to pick players from.

It seems like he's the only person in the world who can handle Judd at the moment.

Higgins owns Trump.

when does he ever win a game or frame easily,

Wild tourists Davis off but Higgins is the king of hit and run snooker combined with Ebdons mind games and intensity.

Shame on Judd for allowing himself to be brainwashed by this highly over rated and lucky shyster

Well done John,i have to say i did,nt think you,d beat Trump,ah well,even hendry_fan can be wrong for once!.



Higgins is miles off his prime and he can still beat the current crop,in his prime he,d of steamrolled the present bunch.

Imagine if a prime Hendry had played this Bristol joke in a world final. Trump is only good for Twitter.




The bunch who ramble on about him being lucky are obviously full of sour grapes.

Higgins wins World Championships, and people still say he played badly. What does that say about how good he is.

Slightly off topic we were reflecting yesterday after the final, with Matt (prosnookerblog) and Steve (maximumsnooker) about what looks like a bit of a pattern.

When John Higgins won his first PTC in Germany, he also had struggled through the tournament and had to play his final shortly after winning his semi final (amusingly, it was Hamilton that time as well) and he totally dominated Shaun Murphy who had several hours "rest" and had looked in great shape through the entire competition.

Similarly, Rod Lawler won his first PTC (and first pro competition) having played one match after another without any real break on the last day, while his opponent should have been fresher.

Could it be that, with such short format, coming to the match high on adrenaline and "warm" is more important than being "fresh", but cold and having to settle again?

Although TBH, Judd started with a century so in this particular case it probably wasn't a factor. But still. Opinions?

When did Higgins last win a frame, match or tournament easy playing a dominant brand of snooker?
