Higgins and Page reach Welsh Open quarter-finals
Welsh Open Snooker Venue: Venue Cymru, Llandudno, Date: 10-16 February Coverage: Watch live on BBC Two Wales, BBC iPlayer, the BBC Sport website and app. Five-time champion John Higgins continued his good form at the Welsh Open as he cruised into the quarter-finals with a 4-0 win over China's Yuan Sijun. Scotland's Higgins, 49, made breaks of 131 and 90 en route to an impressive victory which ensures he is still to lose a frame at this year's tournament. "I am delighted to have not dropped a frame so far," Higgins said. "Twelve frames, I have not really had to play a hard shot because my positioning's been good and the balls have fallen nicely for me." Jackson Page ensured there will be at least one home player in the Welsh Open's last eight thanks to a 4-0 third-round victory over Tom Ford. World number 36 Page made a highest break of 62 on the way to a comprehensive win against England's Ford. Page's win means this will be his best ever Welsh Open performance. He said his form is "getting better every game". "I didn't start great but it was better there and hopefully I can keep getting a bit better," said Page, from Ebbw Vale. When asked about his chances of ending the 26-year wait for a home winner of the Welsh Open, Page added: "I am just trying to win every game I play. "That's all I am trying to do. If I do that then who knows, but I will just try my best." Stephen Maguire is also through to the quarter-finals after following up his second-round win over Mark Williams with a 4-2 win against England's Sanderson Lam. Lam made a 107 break as he fought back from 2-0 down to level the match, only for Scotland's Maguire to respond with a century break of his own on his way to victory.
