    To be honest, I didn’t think John had a clearance like that in him anymore. Incredible stuff, right up there with the Masters clearance vs Ronnie all those years ago. Like they say - form is temporary, class is permanent. 👏🏻

      Defo took the bull by the horns with that double, and he could have played safe with the red on the cushion but went for it. That took a lot of bottle and courage.

    That was an incredible clearance. Pressure on every ball really, because one mistake and Allen would be in there to take the match. Higgins probably more relaxed on a 147 than the tension he must’ve been feeling in that frame. Glad he went for the last red too, I didn’t want another ten minutes of safety exchanges and seeing it decided on a poor safety shot. Proper, brave snooker.
