Does anyone want to win this? 
Can't believe that Higgins missed that last red
Higgins head is gone, 10th frame, opens the reds up, misses an easy yellow. Or should I say, this is the Higgins that we've been seeing over recent years, missing easy pots. Be amazed if Yan doesn't win this.
Yan seems to just shrug off his errors. Impressive temperament.
Wouldn’t ever rule him out, one of the best players to ever pick up a cue imo.
He is prone to the odd silly shot admittedly, that missed yellow was unforgivable really, but I think his experience will come good and he’ll win.
Easy to forget he’s 45 too, not many players anywhere near this standard at late 30s.

Are you kidding me.... Did you see that foul. Age does funny things. I was just about to say he's going to go up 8-5. But.. Thats why Yan is still in this match.
Brain fart. Age related due to concentration. Whatever, again it’s unforgivable really. Just roll up behind the black ffs.
You what's funny. I mentioned it earlier on in the week. GO FOR THE POT when you have the chance.
EDIT: Could have gone 8-5. Now 7-8 down.

Throwing it away?
Steve Davis on Higgins Brilliantly put
''Watching John is like watching a Terminator film. When you think he's damaged, he then walks out of a burning oil tanker, and he's fully formed again''

That was funny, legend.
No miss Snooker now John. Come on.
Still fighting, needs to be brave
Yan is so positive. Just takes pots on when others wouldn’t.
That shot will haunt Yan if he doesn't go on to win this.
Higgins just thrown it away there.
Don't worry. Higgins gives it straight back, so bad. Congrats Yan.
Game over I think
What a week for Yan Bingtao. His temperament and ability to make the right decisions at such a young age is incredible
Higgins isn’t called the wizard for nothing though...
Guy hasn't potted a long ball all night
Chuffed for Yan. What a dream winning the masters at 20.
Delighted for Yan. What a talent.
Brilliant, first time at the Masters and wins it. Amazing.
His girlfriend lifted the trophy like a champ. He was fumbling like he was about to drop it any second.

I legit thought he was going to drop it.
He was fantastic in the final although his long potting towards the end was miles off
. Fantastic nerves under the pressure.Great win for Yan, it's been coming steadily since he burst on to the scene as a 15 year old.
There are still areas of his game which need work, and a tiny asterisk sits next to the win (no Trump) but now he's got his first TC win in the bag the sky really is the limit.
By the time he's Ding's age I suspect he will be far and away the most successful Asian player, and probably with multiple World titles to his name as well.
I wish there was an English equivalent but our best hope of tournament wins remain O'Sullivan and Trump, who himself is 11 years older than Yan!

Goddam. Trump has reached another level.
Amazing shot, but he's really boasting about it, asking for praise online? Jesus.
The guy is an absolute bell end.
When they have the frame in the bag the pockets become bigger. Its really when it can go either way that those shots count. O Sullivan is unbelieveable at that. He can make unreal shots under pressure. So can Judd.
Its still a good shot, but i doubt he would attempt it if the frame was just starting.
More impressed that he can come back from 5-1 down to win.
The best shot he's sunk since that night out with Harry Maguire.
Judd 'LAD' Trump
100000000% this.
Did people see his interview about missing out on the masters because of covid . God I hate this guy
Nope, was he all dramatic and saying he would have won the masters but covid stopped him and it was the worst thing ever but he is big and brave and battled the covid off with his spikey shoes?
When you’re the best player from the last 12 months (by a country mile) and you play one of the greatest exhibition shots ever in a tournament then you probably are allowed to
I bet you defended Nani for getting a giant gold statue of himself.
That is Barry's forte.
