Jeez, I turned a bit of Dave Gorman back on, assuming Trunk had the frame. Turned back on 10 minutes later, and they are still playing the same frame.

Higgins absolutely. Similar to Selby.

And MDG you're actually right for once... In most of the Higgins v Judd matches, when Judd had a big advantage John cameback to win.
Still, 2-2 it is here.

Higgins absolutely. Similar to Selby.
Ronnie won his fair share of deciders against Higgins back in the day. Some memorable ones too.
I'd have them pretty even.

the only important deciding frame win vs higgins which springs to mind was one WC QF match in the 90s ( maybe 1996 i think)

The only big ones I remember are the 1996 13-12 Worlds, and the 10-9 2003 Irish Masters Final.
Can't remember any more.

fpund this one on cuetracker from a match in 1995 between ronnie and higgins. Higgins won 5-4. look at the scores:
Scores: 65-23; 10(100)-5; 55-46; 39-70(53); 6-82(78); 21-70; 76-73(73); 24-75(75); 69(69)-68(68)
the last frame must have been as sick as the masters clearance in 2006. good that i never watched it back then

Irish Masters final 2003. Higgins was playing at his absolute peak but Ronnie won the decider in one visit.

Whereas Higgins has had a few... UK Champs in 09 Semis, the 2006 Masters, the 5-4 at the Grand Prix, that one at the Welsh Open 1995...

He won one in the Champions Cup and also another in the Scottish Open ranking event. Overall, Higgins has the edge though.
I could've sworn Ronnie won a few more, memory obviously not what it was.

The Masters final 2006 is the one which hurts cuz Ronnie was 60:0 ahead and missed a straightforward red. To be fair, Higgins made one of the best clearances of all time after that but it should have never even come that far.

Does it still hurt a decade later? It's not like Ronnie didn't win The Masters at all.

You're right. Now it obviously doesn't hurt as much as it hurt back then in that moment, knowing he's won four more Masters titles after that. I have to say, the one which really hurts atm is the World Final 2014.

For mdg its the pink. I still think, the black off the spot he missed in the 16th frame made the difference.

Me 2. The black in the 16th frame made all the diference. Ronnie had big momentum, 10-5 ahead, could well have been 11-5 or even 12-5...
It's all history now, but yeah the World Final was Ronnie's last chance to possibly tie Hendry's 7 Worlds. That won't happen now, but a 6th is still possible.

had he won the last frames of the 3rd session after having lost the first 4 frames he would have a lead and the momentum in the last session. ronnie needs momentum
In 2008 at the worlds semi against hendry he was 1-4 down in the first session but came back to level 4-4
ronnie said afterwards it felt like he won the session.

I think if Trump wins he reaches the Final.
If Higgins does then I think it's Ding who reaches the Final.

Higgins has been Dings bunny recently. So yeah, Ding would be favourite to beat him.

Oh, are Trump and Higgins playing? I thought it was Ronnie the way people were going on.
