John Higgins Dominates on Day 2 of Players Championship as Quarter-Final Line-Up Takes Shape

Posted : 19 February 2026

The 2026 Players Championship continued on Day 2 in Telford, England, with several elite snooker players progressing to the later rounds of the World Snooker Tour event. The tournament, featuring the top 16 players on the one-year ranking list, entered its next phase with compelling action and standout performances.

One of the headline results saw John Higgins produce a commanding display to defeat top seed Neil Robertson, winning 6-1 and booking his place in the quarter-finals. Higgins made a series of high breaks in the match, including scores above 130, as he maintained control throughout the contest.

Another big name in action, Judd Trump, was also reported to be playing on Day 2, taking on veteran competitor Mark Williams in a significant matchup between two seasoned stars of the sport. Trump’s form continues to be strong as the tournament builds toward the latter stages.

Day 2 also saw media buzz off the table, with reports highlighting snooker broadcasting changes — including the debut of Channel 5’s coverage for the Players Championship — and commentators like Higgins himself taking on dual roles as both competitor and analyst.

With quarter-finals now taking shape and the top 16 field narrowing down, the 2026 Players Championship remains a key ranking event on the World Snooker Tour calendar, offering both ranking points and momentum ahead of the season’s final events.
