Snooker: 'Upset' Higgins may be disciplined

Former world champion John Higgins could face disciplinary action for failing to attend his after-match press conference following a 6-5 defeat by fellow Scot Alan McManus at the Benson and Hedges Masters.

He was said to be too upset to face the media, while McManus was relieved to have reached the quarter-finals in the tournament where he made his breakthrough back in 1994.
