Snooker ace John Higgins has claimed he could quit the sport if he drops out of the world top 16 next season.
Twenty-five years on from his first win, Higgins saw his dreams of a fifth World Championship triumph crumble as he lost 13-7 to Mark Selby in the quarter-finals.
World No.11 Higgins, 47, from Wishaw, has endured an inconsistent season and his run to the last-eight was only his second quarter-final appearance, though he has pocketed £300,000.
