John Higgins has his work cut out tomorrow if he is to avoid becoming another top name to make an early exit from the Embassy World Championships at the Crucible Theatre.

Andy Hicks removed world number 14 Quinten Hann in a bad-tempered affair this afternoon but it will be a far bigger shock if 1998 world title holder Higgins falls to Welshman Ryan Day.
