John Higgins is drawing on his "best-ever performance" as he prepares for the defence of his Royal London Watches Grand Prix next month. Higgins wrote his way in to the record books with four consecutive century breaks and 494 unanswered points as he beat Ronnie O’Sullivan 9-2 in last year's final.
"It was probably the best I"ve ever played, especially in a big match against a great player like Ronnie," said Higgins. "At the time I didn"t realise that I"d set two new records.
"But having found out afterwards, it became something I'm very proud of, particularly when I think of all the great players who have played snooker down the years."
This year's Grand Prix is being staged in Aberdeen for the first time, and the Wishaw-born player is delighted to see snooker back north of the border.
"It's brilliant to have a major tournament in Scotland again," added former world champion Higgins. "All the players, not only the Scottish boys, are glad to be coming back here.
"The tournaments staged in Aberdeen in the past were always a success, it's a great venue and the crowds should be good."
World No 4 Higgins has set his sights on even more success this season.
"At the start of every season you always want to do better than the one before. That will be hard for me but that's my aim and I want to keep moving up the rankings," he added.Elnézést kérek hogy angol de nem találtam magyarul hírt!!!!Elnézést kérek én mint admin!!!(www.eurosport.com/snooker)
