Robbo Rallies To Beat Williams
World Champion, Neil Robertson claimed a place in the final of the inaugural 12Bet.com World Open at the SECC in Glasgow with a tight three-frames-to-two win against Mark Williams.
Australian Robertson remained on course for back-to-back ranking tournament wins on Scottish soil after winning the tournament as it was previously known, the Grand Prix in Glasgow twelve months ago.
Wales’ Williams has been the if-form player all week with wins against Igor Figueiredo, Allister Carter, Barry Hawkins and Ding Junhui opened up a 2-0 lead with a highest break of 81.
The new world number one, fought back to level at 2-2 with breaks of 68 and 103.
It was Robertson who created the first opening in the decider, but also the first to make an unforced error. Williams was left to rue a straight forward red to the corner pocket as the Aussie cleared to the last red to claim a satisfying win.
The result set up a mouth-watering final against Ronnie O’Sullivan late today, after he had earlier beaten Peter Ebdon by three-frames-to one.
