On April 2nd, John Higgins pulled off another epic comeback at the tour championship in Manchester, beating Mark Selby 10-8 to reach the Simmies. The 50-year-old Scott trailed 8-5, but clawed back with breaks like 92 and 78, just like he did in last year's final against the same guy. Selby started strong, reeling off five straight frames with a 127 and a 131 break, but Higgins turned it around when the balls didn't favor his opponent. Higgins said he sensed Selby heating up and just hoped for a break, and it happened. He dug deep and made a count, setting up a Saturday 1pm clash. With World Champ, Zhao Sintong. Meanwhile, Zhao crushed Chris Wakeland 10-4 on Thursday night, firing in breaks of 134 and 108 to dominate. After the first session, Neil Robertson also advanced with a 10-8 grind over Barry Hawkins, rallying from 7-5 down for his fourth semi this season, he faces.

Top-ranked Judd Trump Friday at 1pm, keeping the top talent in the mix for a while finish.
