unlucky to o'sullivan but higgins played some great shots in the last frame...

Ronnie should of won it lets be honest, 6 games won in a row, came back from 8-2 down, had a chance for a 147 in the deciding frame. To think if that red hadn't blocked the black from potting when he split the pack, it would of been 1 hell of a match to be rememberd. Cracking game though, really enjoyed it.

What a match, I'll remember this for a long time, Ronnie was 65 to 1 when 8-2 down, then went favourite before the break-off in the decider...

Isn't John Higgins Provisional number one?

yep

Rubbish saying Ronnie should have won cos he won 6 in a row, he got himself 8-2 down in the 1st place!!!

Good to see his head didn't drop though like usual, perhaps he is more focussed with the prospect of more money and excitement now Barry Hearn has took control - can't wait to see the impact he is gonna have, some new formats, maybe a world cup or a mosconi cup type competition? (Anyone watched any of that, I love it!), be good just to see more tournaments full stop though tbh with ya, down to 6 atm I think :\

Higgins though, best player in the world indeed, followed his career from his debut onwards, my fav player, has an all round game, best safety play and tactical knowledge, best long ball and certainly one of the best break builders plus his determination to get over the line, hes had 3 deciders now in the UK I think?

What a great all-round match player. Ding is on good form though, so could be in for a great final, and hopefully Higgins winning in the decider again.

What a legend!!
