Higgins 0-1 Robertson
A great steal for Neil Robertson who takes the first frame with a clearance of 48. John Higgins had his chances but a missed blue to the right middle and a failure to knock in a red with the rest and extension prove very costly.
Ronnie O'Sullivan will 'pick and choose' returnpublished at 13:38 Greenwich Mean Time 12 January
Mark Allen
The 2018 Masters champion on BBC TwoYou could see the frustration whenever Ronnie [o'Sullivan] was playing the other day but sometime it is not snooker that causes that it can be outside things so you never really know what is going on. We all wish Ronnie well because snooker is better with him.
He could turn up at one of the most obscure events or he might just wait to the world championships and tease us all. Just wish him well. He will pick and choose when he wants to come back

Steve Davis
Six-time world champion on BBC TwoI think Ronnie O'Sullivan is here this week working on TV so maybe it is not physical health reasons [for withdrawing]. I assume judging by the last tournament that he is not enjoying his snooker and if you are not enjoying your snooker it is perhaps best not to play.

Higgins v Robertson

Image source, BBC SportThis should be quite a contest with both John Higgins and Neil Robertson having twice won the Masters previously.
While Robertson had a late call up due to Ronnie O'Sullivan's withdrawal on Friday he has a pretty decent record against four-time world champion Higgins.
You would have to go back to 2019 and the Crucible quarter-finals for Higgins' last victory in any match over five frames against the Australian.

Whether you choose to play competitively or socially, snooker is sure to get your brain working.
It requires skill and concentration and will improve your focus and hand-eye coordination. Anyone can play regardless of age, gender or ability and it's not an expensive sport to get into.
Snooker is essentially a simple sport, once the rules of the game have been learnt - to do just that click here, external.
And a great way to start taking part in snooker is through a local snooker club.
English Partnership for Snooker and Billiards provides a club finder, external, to locate your local snooker venue.
To find a club in other areas of the UK please contact the national snooker federations of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
