Neil Robertson beat seven-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan in an absorbing contest to reach the semi-finals of the Masters.
Robertson set the pace and O'Sullivan fought back.
The 2012 winner made three half centuries and two superb breaks on his way to victory.
Robertson will face either John or Mark on Saturday.
Robertson told the radio station that he was happy with getting through. I was potting a lot of balls and not making a lot of mistakes, so that tells you that.
It was back and forth a bit. I pulled off some brilliant pressure shots, especially from the cushion, but I could have played better.
When O'Sullivan fought back, the crowd was behind him and they got 2,000 people screaming.
I know how important it is to respond well in front of a crowd and I did that after my debut against Jimmy White.
How to watch the Masters.
The crackling atmosphere inside the auditorium for this year's tournament has already been referenced by the likes of Higgins, Robertson and Williams.
When O'Sullivan is in London, he gets a lot of support from the crowd on his own patch.
Robertson took control against the player who beat him in the final of the World Grand Prix in December and there was little for them to cheer.
The 39-year-old capitalised on some loose potting from O'Sullivan to lay an immediate marker with a run of 119 and went on to score 202 unanswered points as he established a 2-0 lead.
Six-time world champion O'Sullivan recovered by taking the third frame and punished a missed red to the middle to draw level at the mid-session interval with a break of 66.
Robertson added another century and 130 as the players traded frames, with O'Sullivan's response of an 80th century at the Masters and a 68, just as impressive.
Robertson won the last two frames to seal his victory and set up a mouth-watering match against another of the 'class of 92' next.
The analysis was done.
John Parrott was a world champion.
Neil Robertson is a tough cookie. You have to be able to stand up and be able to get in the auditorium. It's like playing an away match.
He was very strong at the finish and you have to try and silence the crowd.
