trump/higgins

i would like that if he accomplishes all


Hawkins may be a Crucible specialist, but after that drubbing Ronnie gave him in January, I dont see him winning.

many didnt see him beating neil last year. who knows. maybe he hits his absolute unplayable peak vs an uninterested ronnie

this ants fu match reminds me of another match : higgi vs ros in 2011

Hawkins can't play any worse than he did at the Masters. He had a terrible season last year and all of a sudden came to life at the crucible IIRC. He came up against Murphy in probably the best form I've ever seen him. Not as much of a walkover as some might think.

I think Ronnie will cruise past most of that lot. And I doubt Selby will even get as far as the semi.

hawkins wasnt there mentally vs murphy just the year vs ronnie

the deciders took a lot out of him.
