John Higgins 6 - 4 Marco Fu
In the first match of day three, current Grand Prix champion John Higgins took on the UK Championship runner up Marco Fu.
Higgins made a good comeback by winning four frames on the trot to come from 2-4 down to win 6-4. John also knocked in the highest break of the tournament so far, with a brilliant 140 in frame two.
However, there was never more than one frame in it until the end and the match could have been won by either player.
The match ended with a fluke from John who knocked the black from the jaws of one corner pocket that rolled across the rail into the opposite corner pocket.
Higgins will now play Ding Junhui in the next round.
Highest Breaks:
Higgins 140, 67, 59, 69
Fu 41, 65, 77
