John Higgins lost a frame
.
Just the one though.
He beat Kyren Wilson 6-1 and faces O'Sullivan in the final.
Credit to Kyren, after he lost the 5th by a point after a clearance, he must have wondered if he was going the same way as the others.
First Higgins-O'Sullivan final since 2005 or something apparently. John won that one 9-2.
Higgins leads the Rocket 5 - 0 in the final already.
John got it done 10-3. Aggregate for the tournament: 28-4.
Well done then.
Steady opening round with Neil Robertson beating Kyren Wilson, and Mark Williams beating Gary Wilson.
Barry Hawkins saw off Zhao Xintong, Ronnie bested Trump, but the surprising result was that Ricky Walden did for Mark Allen.
Ricky Walden won a great decider to beat Mark Williams last night, despite Mark leading 4-1 and 5-2
Ronnie failed to add Neil Robertson to his victims.
Barry Hawkins managed to edge out Yan the Man.
I note ITV's coverage ad break things always feature Tubs Murphy's fat grinning face as he holds up a trophy, regardless of whether he's in the tournament involved. Yes, this is another petty whinge.
