Higgins wins final-frame decider to beat O'Sullivan
Four-time winner John Higgins produced a sensational recovery from 8-3 and 9-4 down to defeat Ronnie O'Sullivan 13-12 in a final-frame Crucible epic to reach the World Championship quarter-finals.
Seven-time champion O'Sullivan was seeking an eighth title to set a new outright record in the modern era, and twice held five-frame leads in Sunday's second session.
But Higgins won the last three frames on Sunday and maintained that form by taking the first three on Monday as O'Sullivan lost six successive frames at the Crucible for only the fifth time.
In a high-quality thriller, played out in front of an enthralled crowd, O'Sullivan won the 20th and 21st frames to regain the lead at 11-10.
