Mark Allen sank world champion Higgins at the Wembley Masters Snooker here on Wednesday to book a fight against Mark Selby in Friday's quarterfinals. Three-time world champion Higgins won the first frame in 77-53 for Allen missing an easy green ball while trailing in 53-57.
Then, the 23-year-old Allen replied with three in a row, giving the 34-year-old Higgins little time to play. After five more frames, Allen completed his first match in 6-3.
"It was definitely a good win and will help my confidence," said Allen, who believed that Higgins was off color in the match.

"It couldn't have been much better. Joe was struggling and it's not easy when that happens in a big arena like this, you can feel embarrassed. I kept him under pressure and put enough points on the board to win," said Day
