Selby has been beaten 13-12 in a fantastic quarter final against John Higgins. Selby had many chances to win the match in the deciding frame, but Higgins kept his cool and won a very tense deciding frame that had to be re-racked on two occasions.

Selby started the final session in fantastic form winning the first two frames when Higgins barley managed a single point. Higgins ever the professional came back and won the next two frames easily to make it 10-10.

The 11th frame was a very tight one which lasted a long 30 minutes which Selby managed to win. But again Higgins came back to make it 11-11. By this point nerves got to both the players and mistakes were frequent.

Selby had a fantastic chance to win the match but missed two easy pots, and Higgins held his nerve and professionally won the match with a great break of 75
