The 'Gentleman' is nothing, if not consistent! He somehow got there in the end!
Looking ahead to his quarter-final with John Higgins, I'm surprised to see that they've only ever met 4 times, and 2 of these were PTCs, with just 2 ranking events. (and one of those was the Australian open at the start of this season!)
So, prior to this year, they'd only faced each other once in a 'proper' match - that's amazing for two seasoned professionals, who've been playing together on the circuit for so long!
For the record it's 2-0 Higgins in 'rankers' and 4-0 in all games.
