Robertson to take the game by the long ‘n’ curlies?
Australian Neil Robertson is certainly one of the players best placed to challenge the dominance of Ronnie O’Sullivan and John Higgins who have monopolised the head of the world rankings and the World Championship in recent years.
A return to Oz for the Christmas period has seen him return to the UK, looking refreshed and sporting a new hair-style, adopting his natural curl in place of the straightened look he has opted for.
This is likely to mean less time with GHD’s and more time on the practice table for the Cambridge-based player and if his form in the Championship League is anything to go by, it is certainly paying off.
He beat O’Sullivan 3-0 including a couple of century breaks and followed that with a hat-trick of clearances of 131 and 104 and 103 against Judd Trump.
His 4 and 0 record in ranking finals is a thing of envy for his rivals, and shows the famous Aussie sporting attitude is a key component in Robertson’s success.
Robertson plays the game in an attractive, aggressive way and Global-Snooker.com believe that he could add to his Grand Prix title this season.
