Snooker: Higgins defeats O'Sullivan

In a very good match John Higgins beat Ronnie O'Sullivan by 13 frames to 9. Higgins won the match in the middle session which he won 7-1 to go 11-5 up.

After the first 3 frames of the final session the score was 12-7 and looked freekishly like the match might go the same way as the Murphy vs Stevens match.

Even with Higgins only needing one more frame, Ronnie didn't look like he had given up which was good to see and was actually playing quite well. But in the end Higgins got the chance he needed and polished off the match. He'll now play Maguire in the semi final.
