John Higgins in his news conference after losing 13-8 to Kyren Wilson: "He just overpowered me. I told him at the end it was the best I had seen him. The best man won.
“I was really lethargic in the second session. To get out at 9-7, I felt like I’d won the lottery but he was too strong. I hope he is holding the trophy aloft with his son on Bank Holiday Monday.
“I am committing to playing snooker and committed to trying to get back playing here. I don’t want that to be my last match at the Crucible.“
