‘The dream start’ – Wilson makes fast start with ton against Robertson

Kyren Wilson put in a blistering display at the World Snooker Championship, beating Neil Robertson 13-8 to head into the semi-finals at the Crucible.

As the two men began the morning session level at eight frames apiece, Wilson wasted little time stamping his authority on the match with a 133 clearance to take the lead.

Robertson looked to respond at the start of the 18th frame but failed to get going - making only 23 - as Wilson had luck on his side to extend his advantage and move two clear for the first time in the match.

A jittery frame from both followed but Wilson was able to take a three-frame lead as his opponent toiled and errors started to pile up.

Even as Wilson offered Robertson a way back in the 20th after sinking the cue ball on 21 while going for the green, the Australian couldn’t capitalise and failed to reach the pack with a similar shot almost immediately afterwards.

After missing a fairly routine black in the left corner pocket, Robertson was forced to concede to leave Wilson on the brink of victory.

Robertson’s final act of his tournament was a missed long red to the bottom left pocket allowing Wilson to finish the job with an efficient 84 to march into the final four.
