As the official number one favorite at this year's Snooker World Championships, Australian star Robertson has not escaped the curse of "hot must die"! In the second round of the showdown with England star Lissovsky, the fight was extremely tragic and exciting, the two from the first stage of 4-4 draw, to the second stage Robertson 7-9 behind, the third stage began to counterattack to chase points, and in the 19th set to play the world championship first full score of 147, after which he took the lead in 12-11 to get the match point, but then Wasleovsky won two consecutive sets to complete the counterattack. 12-13！ Robertson, the 2010 World Champion, bid farewell to another year of the World Championships.
This season, Robertson had a near-perfect season, winning three ranking tournament titles at the English Open, the Players' Championship and the Tour Championship, plus three Masters titles, making him the most of the season. Therefore, on the occasion of the World Championships at the end of the season, Robertson also broke the monopoly of British players for the first time in the official list of odds for winning the championship, becoming the number one favorite to win the championship. This is undoubtedly a major incentive and encouragement for Robertson, who has won the World Championship as early as 2010, and is expected to achieve a breakthrough in the second world championship this year.
Facing newcomer Hugh Gill in the first round, Robertson achieved a 10-5 promotion after falling behind 1-3 in the opening. In the second round against 14th seed Lisovsky, both of them were mainly attacking, so there was a wonderful one-shot win in the game, from a 4-4 draw in the first stage to a 7-9 trail in the second stage, Robertson was obviously a bit passive in the first two stages. It was not until the third stage that Robertson began to exert his strength, chasing points through a strong attack, from 7-10 to 12-11, taking the lead in getting match point opportunities, but unfortunately, after playing a perfect score of 147, he played somewhat conservatively in the last two sets, and was reversed by Lissovsky.
Although he was unable to move on and achieve the world championship victory moment again, Robertson's only consolation was to score a perfect score of 147 at the World Championship, which was a supreme honor. Not only was Robertson the 5th in his career, but he was also the 12th 147th in the history of the World Championship Crucible Main. This perfect score will bring Robertson a full score of £40,000 during the regular season, and at the same time can also be equal to The Dortmund's highest single score of £10,000, after Dort scored a full score of 147 in the qualifying round, receiving a full score of £10,000, and the maximum single score of £10,000 is counted in parallel with the qualifying round, so the two will be equally divided.
