All centuries.
Yes, credit to Fu for coming back there.
However, I can't help thinking that you are biased in favour of the overweight players.

Kyren Wilson and Anthony Hamilton hold the record and had six centuries in succession? Thats some achievement.

That reminds me, what weight is Stephen Lee?

Took some proverbials from Fu to respond with a century of his own after that barrage from Higgins! He looks well up for the fight. Higgins to win 9-8 I reckon

Re: Mobile phones
There was on a match on the ATP tour and one of the player's phones rung during the match and the umpire said on his microphone "As a courtesy to the spectators would players please make sure their mobile phones are switched off!"

Probably a call from his Far Eastern betting syndicate.

I start to believe, Higgins has a decent chance to win the World title this season.

I think you're right, although I'm hoping this upturn in form is just a passing phase and nothing more.

I was saying that about Ding after he won the Shanghai. I don't think he will now.

I think we're past that point now though. He's won three of the last four tournaments now and he was only edged out by the worlds best player at the UK

Higgins is playing like a champ.
I don't think he will manage to keep the consistency needed to win the world title this season. But he is playing great.

You can't compare Ding to Higgins. Ding and Crucible just doesnt seem to work.
Higgins hasn't been playing like this since 2011 and more importantly, he's doing it consistently atm. Unlike last year when he won the International Championship and disappeared.
