Good win for Lines.
He was feeling it abit towards the end there, but Higgins not in the form to take advantage.

A bit of a turn up Peter Lines beats Higgins 6-3.
Higgins form is a concern he did not play well in china championship despite reaching the final then he pulled out of European Masters i thought he might have taken that break to work on things that wasent right however it seems in vein he was awful today.

Great breakbullilders like Ronnie are rarely in trouble when making a break.
Like Wild says, thats the difference between them and players who make a good break with great recovery pots every now and then.

What makes Ronnie special is the speed of thought to play the right shot to make pots easy. Ding not as fast but he too when he is on it nothing looks difficult

I feel like Higgins always has more difficulties with players older than himself than those younger. Of course when he’s in form, players all ages are not a big problem.

Nah he'll be fine.
It's not even been two weeks since the China Championship final after all. Not much time to work on issues.
I'll be amazed if Higgins doesn't win anything this season. He's had these periods of terrible form pretty regularly over the course of his career, particularly his later career. He'll bounce back

Yes Higgins has this tendency to play horrible for some tournaments and then bounce back to win one or two. He'll win at least one this season I'm sure.

Given that Wattana and Hamilton have both been on the tour for such a long time and the fact that both have been in the upper echelons of the game for much of their careers I found it bizarre that today's match was only their second meeting. this is Wattana's 30th season and it's Hamilton's 28th season.

What’s up with Murphy? He’s terrible this season.

Wasnt Trump whitewashed 6-0 too in some China qualifiers v Michael Wild last season?
Horrible result there for Murphy, but at least Baird is a better player than Wild is for sure.

Including Paul Hunter Classic, Murphy has already lost 4 qualifying matches this season.

I think there is an unusual level of Strontium in my tap water. I need to buy a filtration system.

Gonna ask the local council to name a road after Jimmy. They'll probably tell me to buck off but there's no harm asking eh?

There is a road in Stoke Newington named after a former Australian player in the 1980s.

No, it would be like Robertson Road.
Or Jimmy Avenue. I dunno.
