John Higgins, a renowned snooker player, achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming only the second player in history to reach 1,000 career centuries.
However, despite this impressive feat, Higgins was eliminated from the English Open after losing a close match against Mark Allen.
Higgins's achievement was overshadowed by his defeat, highlighting the competitive nature of professional snooker.
Only Ronnie O'Sullivan has previously reached this prestigious century milestone, which signifies a player's exceptional skill and consistency.
