Higgins 6-2 Hawkins
In Tuesday’s evening session, two-time champion John Higgins moved into a 16th Masters quarter-final with a 6-2 success over Barry Hawkins to set up a last-eight tie against reigning world champion Zhao Xintong.
Higgins’ victory continued a remarkable run that has seen all six of this year’s matches to be won by the same 6-2 scoreline.
The 50-year-old Scot was in superb form as he made six half-century breaks – 50, 71, 53, 99, 58 and 61 – to see off two-time Masters runner-up Hawkins.
The Englishman took the opening frame following a break of 58, but then let a 46-0 advantage slip in the third frame as Higgins took control.
Hawkins, 46, went almost an hour without potting a ball as Higgins, the 1999 and 2006 Masters winner, produced some superb long pots before sealing victory.
