Impressive of Higgins to be right in again in this frame.

Probably, but after that, he'll be subject to the Watache Thread Curse...

Higgins loses ideal position on 44. There's still 91 remaining.

Higgins always too hesitant to split the pack which is a little weakness in his game.

At the moment he is by far the youngest member of the top 16. He needs to now push on and start winning stuff. He may take a couple more years to move to that next level.

When you watch Ben Woolaston play and see how shockingly bad he is you can't believe it that this guy beat Selby in the 1st round. Can't even make a 15 or 20 break.

Ahhhh the relief. Great match. Hard fought at times, error strewn and full of drama. Xiao will be gutted, you've got to feel for him.

75 break from Higgins and he wins 13-12 :( He did well in the decider to be fair after what happened in the previous frame.

Well done to Higgins. Played a good decider overall. Sixth meeting with MJW at the Crucible now. Probably make MJW just a very slight favourite.

Higgins blames Luca's chalk for the kick in the interview.
Glad that Higgins won, as I think he'll give MJW a better game than Xiao.

Higgins apparently won 9 of his 10 deciders here at the Crucible. That's a strong stat.

I remember him bottling a QF 13-12 against Ronnie from about 10-6 in front when they were both quite young.

Luca doesn’t suffer kicks, he gives the kicks.

Did Cobra Kai ever incorporate the Crane Kick into their arsenal, or did that always remain just a Miyagi-Do thing...?
