- Robertson hits maximum break in 13-12 second-round loss
- Judd Trump holds off Anthony McGill to reach last eight
Neil Robertson produced the 12th maximum break at the Crucible Theatre in World Snooker Championship history – but ultimately lost a thrilling second-round battle with Jack Lisowski that went to the final frame.
Robertson trailed 9-7 coming into the final session but after the first two frames were shared, the Australian completed a 147 break to earn rapturous applause from the Crucible crowd. That appeared to have swung the match in Robertson’s favour as he produced back-to-back breaks of 79 and 60 to take the lead.
