Maguire defeats Robertson

Left-hander Robertson took the first frame with a break of 126, though the world number nine roared back to take next five frames.

Breaks of 59 and 75 after the interval saw Maguire put himself within one frame of victory.

Robertson delayed the victory by taking a long-winded eighth, but Maguire deservedly went through with a four-frame cushion.

"That's two good wins I've had," said a delighted Maguire.

"Neil's a good friend. It was a good match - it's just a pity one of us had to get knocked out, because we both play the game well and open the game up and go for our long shots.

"If we're both on form it's good to watch for the crowd. He beat Mark Williams 6-0 in his first match, so he was hitting the ball well."
