I would agree if he'd won the masters.


Disagree, you don't have to have won tournaments to be up for the Worlds, just being in good form is enough, you can afford the odd bad session.

Their Masters match this season was like that, so if it had been longer I'm sure would be a classic Final.

4 defeats in the biggest finals has got to hurt. A Masters win would have been a real boost. I do think the age thing is important as well it's hard to keep up that form over the two weeks.

True, he'll probably reach the final and get beaten again <laugh>

That's why Ronnie's the GOAT. Became pro in the same year as this guy and still managed to win more than anyone else.


fully agree. Its a huge feat to have Higgins as peer and your greatest rival throughout your career and still win the most titles. And then later on obviously the likes of Robertson,Selby,Trump coming through. And Hendry still at topplevel for the first 10-12 years of Ronnies career.

Let's see how the tournament plays out. This is like his performance at the masters and Kyren's no slouch, his cueball looked amazing in his match against Robbo.

Yeah I can't see Higgins repeating a performance like this, if he does then hats off.

He looks more up for the matches against the very top players. Like he has a point to prove.

This has been his best season for a few years, though.

I don’t think you can make any judgement on Selby from this match to be honest. Higgins would have beaten anyone 6-0 today.

I appreciate one off matches don't mean much, he didn't give up which is more concerning, I'm no selby fan and seen him play close up,I struggle to see how successful he's been with his technique.
