When is snooker final 2018

Higgins, who won the most recent of his world titles in , came into the final session against Wilson with a two-frame cushion at The Scot started with 40 but broke down after missing a red, allowing Wilson to make a classy 96 clearance to trail by one. But Higgins was at his solid, match-play best throughout the contest, highlighted when he asked two young children to be moved from their seats in the front row as they were proving to be a distraction.

The hold-up did not unsettle him as he pinched the frame, as well as taking the next with a sublime clearance. Wilson pulled one back with a 53, but breaks of and 98 put Higgins through. It's the ultimate match in your career and the ultimate place to play. There isn't a bigger occasion but you have to keep composed and treat it like a normal match.

I would come in half-an-hour before the match starts and have 10 minutes on the practice table. I would feel physically sick, like I would throw up, feeling nauseous, and I felt like a coiled spring. Just concentrate on the table, forget anything else.

Treat it like any other game of snooker. It is difficult to do that, that is what separates the best from the rest. These comments are now closed. Snooker Results Calendar.

Quality snooker in this match. Glad to see both semis being so close. Comment posted by Fooed, at 5 May Fooed. Posted by JayRM on 9 minutes ago Snooker a sport? Marginally disappointed by line-up for unrelated reason to above. If Hawkins had won whole tournament Then, in 42 years at Crucible, we'd have had: 15 one-time winners 2-time: Williams 3-time: Selby 4-time: Higgins 5-time: O'Sullivan 6-time: Davis 7-time: Hendry Enough for a commemorative set of snooker balls, no?

With Jimmy White as the cue ball? Comment posted by U, at 5 May U Jay RM Wow. Within 5 minutes of the story appearing on The Beeb. You Troll fast! The bitterness is ripe. Fellow pros know what a fabulous player John is and if you can find me any fellow pro that is calling him a cheat then I am all ears. All are gushing in their praise of him. Those fellow pros travel with Higgins, practice with him and are far better positioned to judge the character of the man than bitter fans with an axe to grind.

Well done John. Comment posted by thepoet, at 5 May thepoet. It's wrong to abuse John Higgins. I don't think he deserves these negative comments. Whatever had happened the snooker governing body disciplined and fined John Higgins, which he paid. It's time to move on and well done John Higgins for reaching another final.

Williams goes for a typically laconic one-armed lift, then gets set for some family photos.

Updated at Higgins collects his silver medal. His family look proud of him - I wonder what that feels like - and now here comes Williams to take the trophy! She then reminds Williams that he promised, if he won, to do his press conference in the nud. He agrees that he said he would, so he must. This has been amazing. Mark Williams is amazing. John Higgins is amazing. Can Hazel make either of them cry? He coaxes home a long red - beautifully - and what a match that was! What a tournament this has been!

Snooker , yeah?! Updated at 9. Down it goes, except he then misses a brown after the next red and Higgins comes back to the table 70 behind with 59 left! It goes down, but forces him to take on the toughest red down the rail On 32, Williams has the angle to go into the pack off the blue and opts to do so gently.

Oh mate! Ohhhhhh maaaaaate! Williams, left on the top cushion, somehow strokes a red into the middle. Third session: 61 , 56 , 69, 56 , 52 , 67 , 72 65 , 80 , - Williams. Sunday's scores.
