What a very nice thing that Murphy said about Higgins. Very gracious in defeat. That blows all those peoples theories of Murphy being smug and arrogant out of the water.

What's he going to say? "John had a very lucky 18 frames and I totally deserved to win and I am the best player to have ever lived."

Of course he's going to be modest and gracious in defeat, everyone is, but that doesn't make their character.

Well done John Higgins. Snooker lives on. Who said it was dying? Good night.

I believe it was ROS that said that, i also believe higgins just matched him world championship wise, game on? or will ROS do us all a favor and quit like hes said he would over and over?

It was also Ronnie that said that on their top form, the winner would be him or Higgins.
So the Rocket was absolutely right yet again.

Well played Higgins, a worthy winner. He's a tremendous player.

He said he and ronnie where the only players capable of winning it, he wasn't capable of passing the second round, and after which lots of players put on amazing shows and nearly everyone of them had a good chance to win or atleast be in the final if it wasn't for murphy and higgins, selby, allen, robertson, hendry - all could have been finalists with there shows.

I may be getting old but didn't Steve and Denis battle it out in 1985 - that's only 24 years ago! Perhaps your son is not as old as you think! Agree that was the best final ever though - but well done John Higgins! Well deserved winner.

Good on John for winning again. I think Selby & Robertson had a taste of what they can achieve in the future & will be dominant forces.
