Tom Ford shocks John Higgins

It's been quite a day here in York. The world number two Neil Robertson was eliminated this afternoon, and now the world number five John Higgins has been sent spinning out of the UK Championship by Tom Ford. It was an error-strewn match to begin with as both players struggled before the interval, but Tom managed to locate something in the ballpark of his A game as it drew to a close and banked a couple of ninety plus breaks to pull away and win the match. Kudos to Tom there, who has now beaten John four times on the spin. He'll now face Luca Brecel in the last 16.

Higgins 4-6 Ford

Tom calmly picks of frame ball, and goes on to seal frame and match with a break of 90. What a struggle that was, but the upshot is another upset as Tom Ford marches on!

Higgins 4-5 Ford (0-55)

It's another half-century for Tom, who has really hit his stride in the last hour or so and looks properly tuned in to what he's doing here. With what's left available this is looking very ominous for John.

Higgins 4-5 Ford (0-31)

John misses a deadweight red long to the bottom right, trying to hold for the black; he's also gifted Tom an easy one to get going, and a nice spread thereafter. He develops more reds early, and if he can stay locked in here this is as good a chance as he needs for frame and match. Can he hold it together here?

Higgins 4-5 Ford

The frame is quickly secured, can we get a century? It's a tough brown, long to the bottom right, for the ton and Tom rattles it out to nix things on 99. He's one up with two to play, and Tom is on the cusp of beating John for the fourth match in a row.

Other table news - Ding Junhui leads Barry Hawkins 4-3, and has hit a very special landmark tonight.

Higgins 4-4 Ford (1-51)

Tom has taken these very well, and drives in the pink to reach another half-century. It's been the slowest of burners, but we could be heading for some finish here. There are five open reds left to go at, and Tom looks certain to red-pink his way over the line shortly.

Higgins 4-4 Ford (1-14)

John wriggles a red in to the bottom left to open frame nine, but then misses a wild brown to right middle and gets away with it. Tom then gets a slice of his own, angling John in the jaws of the green pocket only for John to fashion a superb escape that for some reason draws no applause from the Barbican crowd. Are you not entertained? John makes a hash of a safety soon after though, double-kissing a red and leaving a tap-in to the bottom right. Tom slots it in, rehouses the pink, and this is a chance.

Higgins 4-4 Ford

Tom can't counter; he rolls a red out off the knuckles of the left middle, and John has an easy starter to put this away. The winning line is traversed with minimum fuss, with 36 being enough to level this up once more.

Higgins 3-4 Ford (55-0)

This is excellent from the Wizard, as he goes into the pack and finds a lane for a red into the right middle. He then loses the white slightly, and needs to make a tough cut to bottom right for his half-century. Make it he does, but he's on the wrong side of the blue; John rolls it in, but then misses a difficult red from mid-range and he's left a chance for Tom to counter.

Higgins 3-4 Ford (20-0)

John's long game has been poor tonight, but he strokes one confidently into the bottom right to hold for the blue at the start of frame eight. This match is starting to get a rhythm to it now, both players have dragged a better standard out of each other. There are a number of reds in the open for John here, who's cueing smoothly in this break so far.

Higgins 3-4 Ford

Sure enough, a 71 makes it two on the spin for Ford, who regains the lead.

Higgins 3-3 Ford (0-56)

Tom makes a half-ton, his first tonight, with a volley of reds and pinks. The black is fully snarled up in reds here but there's enough in the open here for Ford to put this frame away.

Higgins 3-3 Ford (0-22)

Best of five then. John tries to crunch a red long into the bottom left, but again misses by a distance and the stray ball sits up over the right middle. Tom drives it in, and almost goes in-off in the bottom right only for the jaws to cough the ball out and land him on the pink. That is outrageous fortune! Still, may as well cash it in, and he starts to do so.

Higgins 3-3 Ford

Tom won that one in segments, but the main thing is that he won it. He empties the table for a 46 and we're all square again.

Higgins 3-2 Ford (14-50)

What a touch here for Tom! John can't lasso perfect position, and eventually leaves himself without a shot on the three remaining reds. Some safety follows before another poor shot from John leaves Tom on one of the reds, and he should dish up what's in the open here to put the frame away.

Higgins 3-2 Ford (11-49)

It's 47 for Tom, before he almost goes in off in the right middle. In catching the low knuckle he's lost position, and decides to play safe. That shot selection pays off quickly enough, as a poor shot from John leaves a red over the bottom right from short range. Tom, who has an open look at dishing up for the frame here, picks off the red but then misses a shocker of a black with the rest. Yikes. John steps up, and quickly develops the remaining reds and the pink; this could be a pivotal steal if John can put these balls away.

Higgins 3-2 Ford (0-33)

Tom hoses in a long red but can't land conveniently on the black. He gets another go a few shots later though as John misses a long red, and in trying to hold for the black he's served up an easy starter. John may have upped Tom's game as much has his own now, as a barrage of reds and blacks are quickly dispatched.

Higgins 3-2 Ford

A much-needed 84 for John banks a rapid fire frame. Will that get him going, and can Tom respond in kind?

Higgins 2-2 Ford (64-0)

It's a half-ton for John, who is moving smoothly round the table now. Frame ball red takes him to 63, by far the highest break of the night so far, and he'll be in the lead shortly.

Higgins 2-2 Ford (38-0)

John gets in with a red to right middle, and he goes in and out of baulk to land perfectly on the black. This table is set up perfectly. 'If somebody like John Higgins can't score heavily from here, I'll be amazed,' says Dominic Dale in co-comms. I broadly agree with the Spaceman, but wouldn't put the rent on it given the way tonight has gone. It's 37 and counting so far.

Higgins 2-2 Ford (1-0)

I hope you opened a window in the break to get the funk of that first mini-session out of your nostrils. The good news is that both players found something in that last frame, albeit briefly, so let's cling to that. John gets in first as we resume, draining a long red but then missing a black off its spot, before Tom misses an absolute howler to the bottom left and sends reds all over. Of course he doesn't leave one; here we go again folks!

Higgins 2-2 Ford

After a brilliant green and brown, Tom misses the blue down the left rail with the rest. He was so close! John has a shot at the blue with the rest, and slices it in to end the frame.

We're all square in what's been a gruelling evening so far. Join us again in 15, when we'll have a best of seven to sort out the winner.

Elsewhere, Barry Hawkins is leading Ding Junhui 3-1.

Higgins 1-2 Ford (57-31)

Tom deposits two reds and blacks before bringing out the final red, but he's left it on to the bottom left. John misses it by a staggering distance, and Tom picks it off followed by the pink. Surely he's not going to nick this? Well it's on, and he needs the colours. The brown and blue aren't in great positions, which is the only good news here for John.

Higgins 1-2 Ford (57-8)

That's a little bit more like it, as John strings together 44 before failing to get on any of the last four reds, which are all safe. We're back on safety, interspersed by Tom getting a solitary red down. There's 51 left out there, and he needs the vast majority of it.

Higgins 1-2 Ford (17-7)

After a lot of up table safety, Tom makes a hash of dropping in deadweight behind the pink. John can't make the cut to right middle that he's left with though, but in leaving Tom in only a red and pink follow as Tom snookers himself on his next red. Lorks a lordy! Here's a touch of class though, as John gets in with a brilliant long red to land on the green. They're spread like a practice table for him, which is just what he needs after this stuttering start to the match.

Higgins 1-2 Ford (13-0)

More scrappy stuff to start frame four, as John pots a red but misses a tough follow-up blue, and Tom can't then convert a red into the left middle. John's back in now though, and for the sake of this as a spectacle we need at least one of the players to get an adhesive grip on some form and get their arm going. As I type that, John misses a shocker, a slightly off-straight red to the bottom left, and it's end of break.

Higgins 1-2 Ford

John gets a red and blue down, so it's now two four point snookers to tie. Eventually though Tom thin cuts in the red to the yellow pocket, and that's that in another exhausting frame.

Higgins 1-1 Ford (16-65)

Tom finds a moment of real quality, cutting a tough red into the right middle, and it's a chance. It almost goes wrong when he furiously rattles a pink in the jaws of the bottom left before it drops, and he nurses himself into a position where John needs two snookers with two reds left. In the context of how this frame has gone, that's a big 30 points for Tom.

Higgins 1-1 Ford (16-35)

John plays a shocker here, missing a red long to the green pocket by such a margin that it clangs another red and leaves the world on. The world is not enough though, as Tom loses position immediately as he lands touching a red rather than on its potting angle. They're struggling out there, these two. John gets in with a red to bottom right, but snookers himself on the blue and misses the alternative, a deadweight straight black. Oh me, oh my!

Higgins 1-1 Ford (15-28)

Tom is riding his look a little in this safety exchange. He gives seven away when he nudges the black off a three cushion escape but leaves nothing, and then pulls off the escape and somehow leaves nothing for John. He's back in now too - I didn't see how due to a slight technical issue here - but can only make 27 before having to send the white back to baulk.

Higgins 1-1 Ford (8-1)

Very good and very bad from Tom here at the start of frame three. He drains an awesome long red into the yellow pocket, only to then miss the green by a comical distance. John then pots a simple starter followed by the black, but loses position badly off the latter and misses his next red with the rest by a wide margin. We could be in for a long one here, as neither player is popping at the minute.

Higgins 1-1 Ford

John plays a ruthless snooker behind the brown, and when Tom misses it by a mile he duly concedes the frame thereafter.

Higgins 0-1 Ford (54-18)

It's a grind, this one. Tom sinks one of the reds but overshoots position on the brown, and he's on nothing else. He later pots another red, gun barrel straight into the yellow pocket, but then misses a cut on the yellow to the same bag and inadvertently snookers John. What a mess! It should be curtains now though, as John drains a long red followed by the yellow, and Tom now needs a snooker.

Higgins 0-1 Ford (51-16)

John quickly returns the black to its site of origin, and grinds to a round half-ton before another loose positional shot again traps him behind the pink and not on his intended red. Back to baulk goes the white, and there's still 59 left out there.

Higgins 0-1 Ford (7-16)

A drawn out safety exchange follows, in which John gets down a solitary red but no position on a colour. Tom misses a good chance at a long red to the bottom right, and the table is becoming a bit of a mess. John eventually stuns a long-ish red into the bottom right, and this time he's on the blue.

Higgins 0-1 Ford (0-16)

John tries a deadweight long red to hold for the black at the start of frame two. It goes close, but coughs out, and it's on to the bottom right for Tom as an easy starter. It's a good chance but a poor shot on a red, where he pots it but clips a different red first, throws him out of position and nixes his break on 16.

Higgins 0-1 Ford

A poor safety from John leaves a red right over the green pocket, and Tom pots that and the blue to leave John needing a snooker. We're playing on, as this table is set very nicely for them and, John being John, he's making a fair old fist of trying to get one on the final red. Tom keeps escaping though and flukes one of his own; John can't get out of it, and concedes.

Higgins 0-0 Ford (30-61)

It's an excellent counter, as Tom mops up the reds south of the table before going up for the two in baulk. A poor shot up to them from the pink though leaves him without a pot, and his break is over on 45.

Higgins 0-0 Ford (30-16)

Tom had tickled the pack open in his brief break and John jumps in to capitalise immediately. On 29 though he miscalculates a positional shot and traps himself behind the pink, and not on his intended red. He takes on another - a fiendishly difficult cut using the full set of extensions - and he's missed it. That's left Tom in, with a big chance to counter.

Higgins 0-0 Ford (1-16)

It's a poor start for Tom, who catches the blue off his break and leaves a cut on to the bottom left. John snicks it in, but then inexplicably misses a simple black off its spot to gift a chance to Tom. Two reds and two blacks follow, before Tom misses a red long to the yellow pocket.

Where's your money?

Tom might have the form against John, but he's had a poor season so far. As for John, he hasn't won this tournament since 2010 or any triple crown since 2011. Has he got it in him to get over the line in a major this season?

Welcome back

It’s time for the evening session of day two of the 2022 UK Championship. We’ve had one upset already today, what will we get tonight? Tom Ford takes on three-time former champion John Higgins shortly, and he's on some run against him; the last three times they've played, Ford has swept the lot.

Thanks for your company

That's us for this afternoon, we'll be back from 6.45pm BST for John Higgins against Tom Ford.

Joe Perry shocks Neil Robertson to advance

Well well, there's the most eye-catching result of this UK Championship so far. Joe ruthlessly punished an out of sorts Neil there, adhering to the old maxim of playing the table not the opponent and sweeping the first mini-session while Neil's game was in pieces. Neil, who didn't look physically well at all, tried to make a fight of it after the interval but Joe saw it over the line with a gutsy clearance right at the end. With breaks of 102, 85, 68, 81 and 64 he was a more than deserved winner, and advances to the last 16.

Elsewhere today, Luca Brecel has beaten Lyu Haotian 6-4.

Watch as classy Robertson calls a foul on himself during UK Championship match

Robertson 2-6 Perry

You can say it's so, Joe - he's cleared up to the pink for a 64 to seal the match!

Robertson 2-5 Perry (41-46)

This is tense stuff for Joe alright. He doesn't punch all the way through a pink, leaving himself short on his next red, but picks out a superb recovery cut on it to the bottom left to find his way on to the blue. Neil's lead has evaporated, but Joe twitches slightly in getting on the final red and he's left it long to the green pocket. How about this though - he's stroked it in brilliantly to land on the brown! That goes, and he's on an awkward yellow to the bottom right from baulk. He's only drilled it in though, and needs up the blue!

Robertson 2-5 Perry (41-0)

Oof, how big a miss could this be? On 40, Neil takes the black near the bottom cushion to the bottom left, but catches jaw first and it rattles out. Oh my! He's left Joe in here, and nothing is safe. It'll still need nerves of steel to dish from here, but it's all there for him.

Robertson 2-5 Perry (20-0)

Neil floats in a deadweight red to start frame eight, but overruns the black and doesn't take it on. A red down the opposite side of the table a few shots later, boomed into the bottom right, serves up a more orthodox chance. He doesn't look too well out there, but he's giving this everything and there's a nice spread on for him here.

Robertson 2-5 Perry

The final red is frame ball for Neil, a tricky one along the bottom cushion. He clips it into the bottom right though, followed by the black, and he's still in there fighting in this one. A total break of 62 reduces his arrears.

Robertson 1-5 Perry (30-21)

Neil plays an aggressive safety, opening the remaining reds, but he's left a path to one over the bottom left. Joe picks it off, and then negotiates a tough pink to the bottom right with the rest from mid-range. It's a big chance, but he soon leaves a tough pink to right middle to keep going and overcuts it. Neil's back in, and needs to dish the necessary here.

Robertson 1-5 Perry (26-6)

An excellent safety from Joe forces an error from Neil, who leaves a red on to the green pocket. It's a chance but he leaves it in the jaws, and Neil swerves around the brown to pick it off and get back in. Neil only makes four though before losing position yet again and missing a tough pink to the right middle. An excellent safety from Joe then forces Neil into a long red across the table and into the bottom right; he's missed it, and served up a chance for Joe. Only six points come from it, but another taxing safety from Joe has Neil in trouble once more. Neil pots a superb long red to get out of it, but he's not getting the run today as he lands on nothing again.

Robertson 1-5 Perry (21-0)

A fortuitous snooker from Neil forces nine points in fouls and position on a red over the bottom left. Neil can only make twelve from the chance though, as he goes into the pack off the black and lands on nothing. It's been a rough day for him, and he's coughing and spluttering a bit each time he returns to his corner. He might well be under the weather, and his game definitely is.

Robertson 1-5 Perry

Superb stuff from the Gentleman, as an 81 leaves Neil needing all five remaining frames.

Robertson 1-4 Perry (4-51)

'This is about composure, right here and now,' says Angles McManus in co-comms. If Joe can hold it together here, he'll be one frame from victory and it's all there for him. A half-ton is in the books with a black and he's on his next red to left middle. He's mopping these up very nicely, and has been exemplary in punishing a struggling, favoured opponent so far. Play the table, not the opponent.

Robertson 1-4 Perry (4-24)

Both players trade four point fouls at the start of frame six. Some very cagey safety follows, before Joe creates a chance by dropping a red into the right middle followed by a nerveless yellow to the same bag from baulk. Joe makes 12, before rattling a red into the left middle that uses all of the lip to go in. That leaves a nasty cut back in the black but he drains it and brings more reds into play; that's a superb, gutsy run of shots and he's earned this frame-winning chance.

Robertson 1-4 Perry

No ton for Neil, but a rapid 88 gets him on the board.

Robertson 0-4 Perry (54-0)

This is more like it from Neil, who motors to a half-century. The interval looks to have done him the power of good, and he's in the rhythm to which we're accustomed. He's going to peg this one shortly, and a run of quick visits from him would change the complexion of this entire match.

Robertson 0-4 Perry (20-0)

We're back, and you fancy Neil has to win this frame to have any chance of turning this match around.Joe's left him a chance immediately, red to bottom right from mid-range, and in it goes. Neil is into the pack early off the black and he's on a red to right middle; a quick kill here would make him feel a whole lot better about things.

Robertson 0-4 Perry

This is curtains for Neil as he misses a red mid-range to the bottom left by a huge margin. Joe's on a tap-in to the left middle, and a quick red-black combo puts it to bed.

That's the mid-session interval, and Neil will not want to see a tape of that display any time soon. Can he turn this around? We'll find out in around 15 minutes. Elsewhere, Luca Brecel and Lyu Haotian have reached their interval at 2-2.

Robertson 0-3 Perry (5-63)

Joe is quickly on frame ball, but misses it mid-range to the bottom left on the stretch. He's not left anything, but with 59 left out there Neil's still in this. He's second favourite by some way though, with two reds and the black on cushions.

Robertson 0-3 Perry (5-43)

Neil is having one here. He picks off the plant left for him by Joe, but doesn't land on the black. He then tries to swerve on to the green in baulk, but gets into it to much and misses the target completely. 'It's like an anxiety dream,' says Dave Hendon in comms, 'only it's real.' What a chance for Joe now, who's back in with a red to the bottom right. One compliant split on three reds beneath the pink soon after makes him look nailed on for the frame.

Robertson 0-3 Perry (5-21)

Neil is left with a difficult safety at the start of frame four, but opts to pot his way out of trouble with a brilliant long red into the bottom right as a shot to nothing. He's on brown to left middle thereafter, but misses it deadweight and another chance slips through his fingers. Joe pounces, and after an excellent red along the cushion and into the bottom left at pace, he opens the reds up off the black. You can feel how emboldened he is by this electric start today. What a nightmare here though - in lining up a plant with the swan neck rest, he nudges a red with said device and it's four away! What a touch for Neil.

Robertson 0-3 Perry

It's another hefty break for Joe, 68 this time, and he's won another one. Neil is now officially in bother.

Robertson 0-2 Perry (23-67)

A clever shot from Joe nudges a red off the left rail and lands him on the black, which is soon dispatched to bring up his half-century. A red and black later and he's on frame ball red to the left middle. The positional shot lands to the though of an inch, leaving him straight on the red, and in it goes! He's playing so well here.

Robertson 0-2 Perry (23-28)

Joe picks up four as Neil shorts a two-cushion escape from a safety, and is handed a chance a few shots later as Neil takes on a mid-range cut on a red and leaves it in the jaws of the bottom left. He's so out of sorts here, and Joe can punish him again. This feels like a big visit for the Gent; if he can nudge three in front he'll be giving Neil cause for serious concern.

Robertson 0-2 Perry (23-0)

Both players miss reds at the start of frame, and after two bites Neil eventually looks like he might compile his first meaningful break of the day after booming in a long red to get going. He's starting to let his arm go now for the first time in the match, and quickly gets the reds open, but a loose positional shot doesn't leave him a shot on the black and he has to send the white back to baulk.

Robertson 0-2 Perry

Joe gets the mop out and makes light work of what's left, emptying the table again for a break of 85 that banks him another frame. He's made an impressive start here.

Robertson 0-1 Perry (23-49)

After a bout of safety Joe finds the shot that might unlock the frame, draining a long red to bottom right and forcing position on the blue. With all six remaining reds in practice table position, this is a huge chance. A brilliant recovery pot on a long-ish red after losing control of the white gets him back in position, and it looks a tap-in from here.

Robertson 0-1 Perry (23-19)

It's another patchy start in frame two, as Neil gets a red and a blue down before missing a shocker of a red mid-range to the bottom right. He opened the pack with that shot too. Just as Joe looks set to punish heavily though, he misses a virtually straight blue to the right middle and he's really let Neil off there. It could be a turning point, until Neil has another shocker and faintly clips a red first as he pots the pink. He's not at it at all yet.

Robertson 0-1 Perry

There's enough on for a ton and Joe duly sorts it, emptying the table for a 102.

Robertson 0-0 Perry (14-67)

Joe has taken these very nicely indeed. He cuts frame ball red in to the left middle to land on the black, and with all remaining reds in the open he's going to take this first frame.

Robertson 0-0 Perry (14-45)

Joe gets three looks at long reds to get in, but can't take any of them. From the final one he tried to hold for the black and left Neil a straight-ish red to the right middle, but Neil misses it and he's left Joe right in. It's a scrappy start, but Joe has the chance to make a bit of hay here. It's 24 and counting so far, with Joe nicely glancing open the pack off the black.

Robertson 0-0 Perry (14-21)

It's an easy starter for Neil now as Joe misses a red to the left middle, which shoots off the low knuckle and lands in the yaws of the yellow pocket. The chance only yields six, but a fortuitous snooker thereafter earns Neil another eight in fouls as Joe needs three goes to fashion a two-cushion escape.

Robertson 0-0 Perry (0-21)

Neil misses a long red to the bottom right, and it rattles out and lands over the green pocket. Joe picks it off with the rest, and he's got the first chance of the match. He loses position slightly on the black early on, but recovers it with a superb thin cut with the rest to the bottom right. Positions deserts him again soon after, and this time he tucks up behind the yellow.

White blown away by Day, Craigie dumps out defending champion Zhao as Allen beats Brown

Jimmy White’s UK Championship dream died before it had time to truly form, as he was sent crashing out in the first round by Ryan Day.

The Whirlwind was the story of the event, after coming through four matches in qualifying to reach the final stages at the Barbican at 60 years of age.

In reaching the first round, White became the oldest player to reach the final stages of the UK Championship since 63-year-old Eddie Charlton in 1993.

The long potting wowed the crowd throughout the contest at the Barbican, but the other aspects of his game were lacking and despite being well short of his best, Day was able to advance 6-2 and set up a clash with Zhao Xintong’s conqueror Sam Craigie in the last-16.

The defending champion crashed out of the UK Championship at the first hurdle, with Craigie beating Xintong 6-2.

Mark Allen has been one of the form players of the new season and he overcame Jordan Brown 6-4.

The two are close friends and practice partners, and Allen made a slow start against his lesser-fancied opponent.

But Allen found his stride mid-way through the match to claim a narrow win.

Allen has won 14 of his last 15 matches in ranking tournaments, with his only defeat in that spell being to Ryan Day in the final of the British Open.
