Or not.
There has been scant discussion of Higgins as a feasible contender. Short is the memory of sporting fans.

Reading around other sites it seems a lot of people don't want him contending

He has already won the World Championship after a bad season in the past too.

Oh, he's a contender. But probably not a favourite. There is a difference.
Saying that, he's been in the previous two finals.

Been trying to get out the house for two hours but I can't quite make it to the door. Any ideas?

Looks very sharp and already better than everything I've seen from him this season.
He looks good now, up against an opponent who isn't going to trouble him. As ever with Ding though, it's about how he reacts when he encounters the first bit of adversity.
Probably his head will drop and he'll quit on the challenge. We've seen it so many times with Ding.

He hasn't won against McGill yet.

Do it! I might 'borrow' some of my kids Easter eggs when they aren't looking and try that.

Ding is too emotional.

Another ridiculous ball goes in that shouldn't have.
This time a black that Ding overcut into the bottom corner pocket.

Everything happens at The Crucible,
Every degree from triumph to despair.
Here is where you either win or lose it all.
This place is special, not just anywhere.
For two weeks Sheffield is the centre
Of our universe. We snooker fans
Watch as cue-clutching players enter –
The likely winners and the also-rans.
The balls line up, the referee awaits,
The cloth is smooth, the pockets flex their jaws,
The air is thick with history, the greats
Prepare to beat already record scores
While even lesser players’ reputations rise
Just by joining in this great event
That’s gone in a flash before their very eyes.
Like us they’ll wonder where the fortnight went.
But all will start again soon next year.
Thrills in The Crucible are never over.
They echo daily in the fine-tuned ear
Of every dedicated snooker lover.

I'd agree but dont forget in 2017 he did produce against ROS and Selby under pressure (even though he lost that one).
