John Higgins vs. Ronnie O’Sullivan: Higgins to Face “Special” Sullivan In The Semi-Final

John Higgins will face Ronnie O’Sullivan in the semi-final of the World Snooker Championship 2022 at the Crucible Theatre (Sheffield). The match will begin at 9:00 p.m. (Moscow). 

John Higgins – The Wizard of Wishaw

On Wednesday night, John Higgins finished a star-studded World Championship semi-final, and he is looking forward to a "special" match with fellow Class of '92 alumnus Ronnie O'Sullivan at the Crucible.

Higgins, a four-time winner, defeated Jack Lisowski 13-12 in the first session of their best-of-33 semi-final on Thursday evening.

In the other semi-final, Mark Williams, another Class of '92 hero and three-time world champion, will face 2019 winner Judd Trump, who has had a disappointing season by his own standards but has sparkled in Sheffield thus far.

Ronnie O’Sullivan – The Rocket

According to Jimmy White, Ronnie O'Sullivan has regained his focus and is ready for the last stretch of the World Championship.

O'Sullivan defeated David Gilbert in the first round before crushing Mark Allen in the second.

He threatened something similar when romping to a 6-2 lead against Stephen Maguire, only to suffer in the second session due to tip troubles. O'Sullivan increased his advantage to 11-5 and completed the two frames he required on Wednesday morning to secure a spot in the semi-finals.
