Time seems to be winding down in the first to four clashes, with Higgins needing a quick-fire response. He finally achieved that in the third frame as he drew level to deliver a break of 78. 

“I wasn’t at my best today, and it was so evident. My opponent took advantage of that and beat me to it. “There are plenty of tournaments to come, and I will keep working hard to give it my best.” He added. 

Elsewhere, at noon on Tuesday, Mark Selby produced an impressive performance to dispatch Mark Joyce 4-1. At first, Mark [Selby] started poorly after losing the opening frame. However, he found his rhythm once again as he made breaks of 110 to draw level [1-1]. He switched up his gear from that moment with over 50 breaks in the remaining three frames to bang an emphatic victory
