SCOTTISH snooker legend John Higgins has revealed it could be his last time playing at the Crucible.
The four-time world champion, 48, kicks off his title bid against Jamie Jones today.
After losing to Mark Allen at the recent Tour Championship, crestfallen Higgins admitted it could be his "last crack" at the World Championship.
Asked whether that was still the case, the all-conquering Scot said: "It could be my last time playing here.
"The game's tough, it really is. I'm going to immerse myself in the tournament, the city, give it everything and see where it takes me.
"We'll just have to wait and see what happens."
At the end of last season, Higgins insisted he would consider his future if he fell out of the elite top 16.
