To snooker now and Hong Kong's Marco Fu had an uphill battle against World No. 3 John Higgins at the ongoing Snooker Haikou World Cup in China.
The world No. 27 Fu was in sluggish form as the Hong Kong ace committed uncharacteristic errors in the opening two frames. Higgins took advantage and went on to land the first two frames to take a 2-zip lead. Fu didn't improve his fortunes in the third as he continued to make crucial faults, allowing Higgins to snatch the frame and hold a decisive lead. Fu eventually improved his play and battled back making it 3-1.
But the Scot would bounce back to take the fourth, moving one frame away from taking the race to 5. But errors crept in as Higgins left the door open for Fu to fight back. Fu did make a late charge, winning the next two frames, making it 4-3. But that would be the end of the run for Fu as Higgins would hold off his challenge and prevail to move on to the next round.
