John Higgins took a dominant 7-2 lead in the morning despite a break of 112 from Williams in the third frame. Matthew Stevens dragged himself back in the evening, winning three straight frames. The Scot responded with a break of 75 to take the 13th frame before the interval, and fine century breaks in the final two frames took him through. John Higgins was always expecting a tough opening clash with Stevens, twice a runner-up in Sheffield, and trailed 2-1 early on as the Welshman came close to a 147 maximum break. He potted 14 reds and 14 blacks in the third frame before missing a pot down the rail. John Higgins hit back to win six frames in a row to lead 7-2 - and that proved to be the crucial passage of play in the match. |
