Snooker: John Higgins is stunned by winning run
The three-time world champion, who won last month's European Tour Players Championship event in Germany, said: "It's beyond my wildest dreams to have won so many matches since I've come back," he said. I'm feeling great about my game."
In last night's concluding quarter-finals, a high-class opening session could not separate world champion Neil Robertson and Shaun Murphy as they were locked at 4-4. Both players matched one another frame for frame once Robertson had been pegged back having won the first two frames. Mark Williams led surprise package Mark Joyce 4-0 on the other table only to be pegged back to 4-3 by the Walsall potter.
