I didn't hear it, but that's something she would say.
God she's awful, she could be a Snooker presenter for 30 years and not be one bit better than she was when she started.
Can you stream the ITV in your part of the world, Andre?
Yes, although I mainly use it for the studio talks and interviews. The actual match I usually watch on ES, unless it's not on there.

Didn't Lukas Kleckers whitewash Selby a while ago?

Best of 11 is way different to a Best of 7.

I prefer the ITV studio to Eurosport.

I hope Higgins & ROS get to the final and the latter issues some revenge for his Masters defeat.

Very true. But still, an impressive performance from Kleckers to beat Selbo 4-0.

There is one thing for sure. If both in their prime, Higgins is clearly the superior player.

Last ranking event Final these two contested:
2005 Grand Prix! Although the 2016 CoC was a big match, and Higgins beat him.

Selby has scored just 12 points!
If Higgins continues like this, he could easily establish a record for fewer points by his opponent.

Has he been unplayable? Went on a bike ride and expected to come back to a closer match.

Great long potting, granite safety play.
Selby had one chance in frame 4, ran out of position on a break of 6. That's about it.

Higgins has come into some great form recently, could be his year at the Worlds.

Not sure, I think losing 3 in a row took its toll on him.

Higgins might not be making 4 or 5 centuries, but this has been a great dominant performance.
7 points for Selby! Easily could smash the record, which I'm sure is more than a mere 7.

I would agree if he'd won the masters.
