The Masters begins this weekend and here's a run through of the matches to come, beginning with Ronnie O'Sulllivan v John Higgins. There's also a look ahead to the TV coverage of the tournament.

A very Happy Birthday to the Masters. Fifty years old. I'll return from Sunday on Radio Snooker with live interviews and commentary from Alexandra Palace.
