worst winner in higgins coming up

what a lucky bastard

Boooooooo...
Terrible... How can you lose to Ben Woollaston in a ranking semi?

thanks god it wasnt ronnie on there. i would have smashed my laptop into pieces

Gutted for MJW! Another semi final heartbreaker.

Well done to John for his 26th ranking title. He can't lose this. Woollaston was even choking when the table was the most straightforward table you could ever wish.

Even if Woollaston goes like 8:6 up, I expect Higgins to win it. By the far worst final of this season.

Congrats Higgins on winning your 26th ranking title and record 4th Welsh Open title

and we have the worst possible final from all scenarios beforehand.

instead of brecel-MJW we have the anti climax final ben vs higgins

anything but that

Woollaston can't win tomorrow. If he was capable of winning ranking titles he'd have managed it years ago, he's just another Mark Davis like journeyman.

Even though I hope he does win.

This makes brecel's defeat even more disappointing. He would have had a great chance against Ben.

It is yeah no doubt.

Higgins cant lose it can he.. even with his C game will probably be good enough.

And yeah even if somehow Ben got to 8 frames, he would start choking badly.

Higgins will probably win 9-4 or 9-5.

It was because of the best of sevens

Yep, even Brecel-Woollaston or MJW-Higgins would have been more preferable.

Yup.

Brecel v Williams would have been a classic
Williams v Higgins would have been a classic
Brecel v Woollaston had potential as a close match
Higgins v Woollaston will be dire and one-sided

higgins route to the final: leslie, borg, wenbo, georgiou, maguire (only real professional), brecel, ben
just rubbish

Absolutely.

Just gutted right now, heartbreaking loss really

really wanted MJW to win this title, ok against Higgins would have been so tough but losing to Higgins is no disgrace in a ranking Final.

at least we won't have to see williams kids again.

to call ben a journeyman is a bit harsh. still very young. won ptc. cues like paul hunter but consistency is his problem

i would have taken a selby victory at the welsh but not higgins

He as tested by Luca though and responded.

But yeah had he faced a Selby, Robbo or Ronnie he probably wouldnt have been here in the first place.

Nevermind, not his fault he got an easy draw on paper at least.
