- John Higgins and Mark Williams level at 8-8
- Zhao Xintong in control with 12-4 lead over Chris Wakelin
Hard competition and enduring happiness are the reasons why snooker’s “Class of 92” have continued to hold the sport’s new generations at bay, according to the seven-times world champion Ronnie O’Sullivan.
The 49-year-old eased into a 6-2 lead after the first session of his Crucible quarter-final against Si Jiahui on Tuesday while John Higgins and Mark Williams finished the second session of theirs level at 8-8. The trio have 14 world titles between them and few would bet against that number increasing as they continue to cut a swathe through the draw in Sheffield.
