John Higgins hinted at retirement after his self-confessed "poor season" ended with a quarter-final defeat at the World Championship.
The Scot, a four-time champion at the Crucible, breezed past David Grace and Kyren Wilson in the early rounds of this year's tournament. His run came to an end in the last eight, though, with number two seed Mark Selby beating him 13-7.
With only two of the top eight seeds reaching the final four, thanks in part to Ronnie O'Sullivan's surprise defeat, Selby is well in the mix to add a fifth world title of his own. For Higgins, though, it's a time for reflection.
