The four-time world champion could be nearing the end and he says the answer is all in the eyes.
The four-time world champion, 48, kicks off his title bid against Jamie Jones today. After losing to Mark Allen at the recent Tour Championship, crestfallen Higgins admitted it could be his "last crack" at the World Championship. Asked whether that was still the case, the all-conquering Scot said: "It could be my last time playing here.
Only those 16 are seeded at the Crucible, with the rest of the tour having to go through the gruelling qualifying stages. And Higgins, who has not needed to qualify since way back in 1995, is provisionally 17th on the ranking list heading into next season. "It's my 30th year and I've got to be proud of the fact I've stayed at the top level for 30 years continuously here as a seed," said Higgins. That's an achievement in its own right. The people who have retired before me have said that once you retire it's the one you really miss, coming back here and playing here. That's probably what will happen to me too.
