Teenager Stan Moody shocked four-time snooker champion John Higgins in the last 16 of the British Open with a score of 4-2. The 19-year-old from Halifax, England, advanced to the quarter-finals for the second year in a row after a strong showing at the event in Cheltenham. Moody took early control of the match, leading 1-0 and then 2-1 before Higgins, aged 51, managed to level the score each time. A break of 46 points helped Moody take a 3-2 lead, and a remarkable clearance of 69 points in the sixth frame—finishing on the black ball—sealed his victory. This came after Higgins had dominated a frame with a score of 61-0. Moody will now face fellow Englishman Liam Highfield in the quarter-finals. Highfield, from Stoke, advanced with a 4-1 win over Chinese player Long Zehuang. Meanwhile, Judd Trump, one of the top players in the sport, also moved forward with a dominant 4-0 victory over David Gilbert. Trump scored impressive breaks of 118 and 105 points in the final two frames of his match. Jack Lisowski, a player from Cheltenham, won 4-1 against Chinese player Lyu Haotian and will now face four-time world champion Mark Selby in the next round. Selby had earlier defeated Ukraine's Iulian Boiko with a score of 4-2. Wales' Jak Jones also progressed, beating Latvia's Artemus Zizins 4-2 in their match. Other notable results included Northern Ireland's Aaron Hill, who defeated Chinese player Fan Zhengyi 4-0, and Highfield's 4-1 win over Long Zehuang. These results set up an exciting quarter-final stage with several top players continuing their campaigns in the British Open.
