Steve Davis beats John Higgins 13-11! The 1st match i've seen this year, not bad, a stunning win! Saw bits of the 2nd and 3rd sessions (not live today just on the BBC1 coverage from 1pm) and after he won the 1st session 6-2 I always felt Davis could win the match. And it occurred to me not long before the commentators mentioned it that he'd never been behind in the match. It was then that I actually believed he would win. Good to see my sweepstake players both reach Round 2 as well, and Ronnie of course

Do you mean the Fathers For Justice protestor? What an idiot. At least Davis didn't do what Eamonn Holmes did on the Lottery show a few years ago and hide behind Sarah Cawood. It's first to 13 in the second round so even if Ronnie (or Williams) won all 8 frames tonight, they'd still have to come back tomorrow to finish the match.

Annoyingly, I was at university this afternoon so I didn't get to see it. However, I did hear the interview with Ronnie on the radio. It makes you wonder what Ronnie has to do to be happy with his own game. Ronnie v Selby in the quarters could be an absolute classic.

Results catch-up:
JOHN HIGGINS 11-13 STEVE DAVIS At the age of 52, Davis produces one of the biggest Crucible shocks of all time to beat the defending champion and new world #1. Resuming 9-7 behind at the start of the final session, Higgins ominously won the first two frames to level at 9-9 but Davis was able to respond to everything Higgins threw at him to win a tense, epic tussle 13-11.
NEIL ROBERTSON 13-12 MARTIN GOULD One of the Crucible's greatest shocks was followed by one of the Crucible's greatest comebacks. Gould led 6-0 and then 11-5 but Robertson won 8 of the last 9 frames to go into the last 8. It was a huge opportunity missed for Gould who would've fancied his chances against Davis in the quarter-finals.
STEPHEN MAGUIRE 6-13 GRAEME DOTT A dominating display from Dott who looks to be playing better than he did when he won the title in 2006. He sets up a quarter-final meeting with last year's semi-finalist Mark Allen. A win for Dott would see him regain his top 16 place. Defeat would mean Jamie Cope will get the last place in the top 16.
MARK WILLIAMS 10-13 RONNIE O'SULLIVAN Ronnie comes through a high quality match that was close all the way until three centuries from Ronnie in the final session sent him through to the last 8. The fact we saw this match as early as the second round highlights one of the negative aspects of the current ranking system as this was the #2 seed against the #15 seed. Under the proposed new system where the top 16 changes after each tournament, these two wouldn't have met before the quarter-finals. Had Williams been in the other half of the draw, he could've gone all the way to the final.
ALI CARTER 13-11 JOE PERRY Almost another great comeback as Perry came from 10-6 down to lead 11-10 before Carter found a century from nowhere and eventually got over the line. Perry's defeat means he drops out of the top 16 and is replaced by Liang Wenbo.
MARK SELBY 13-5 STEPHEN HENDRY Selby dominated against the seven-time world champion to set up a mouthwatering quarter-final clash with Ronnie O'Sullivan - a repeat of this year's Masters final. That match was tense, dramatic and unpredictable. Something similar would be very fitting for the Crucible and those two usually don't disappoint.
DING JUNHUI 10-13 SHAUN MURPHY Another match that was close throughout until a final flourish from Murphy made the difference. The pressure seemed to tell on Ding a little as he missed some great chances in the closing frames and Murphy's big match experience told as he sealed victory with a clearance of 128.
Quarter-finals: Steve Davis v Neil Robertson Ali Carter v Shaun Murphy Graeme Dott v Mark Allen Mark Selby v Ronnie O'Sullivan
