DOWN TO THE WIRE

John Higgins has completed a remarkable recovery from 4-0 down to beat Anthony Hamilton 5-4 in the first round of the Bank of Beijing China Open today.

Many players would have given up at the interval, so credit to John, although you have to feel for Anthony whose season is now at an end.

John is killing time watching season 2 of American series The Wire in his hotel room, so he's used to tense drama.

Too many of these sort of matches aren't good for the nerves, though.

Well, I for myself absolutely love these kind of matches, so I'm sad I missed this one.
Hats off to John, though!

Well done John, comebacks like that pack you full of self-belief, not a bad thing when sheffield looms!
