- Murphy survives fightback to secure surprise 6-4 victory
- Australian had been suffering with flu in buildup to tournament
Shaun Murphy held off a spirited fightback from Neil Robertson to dump the defending champion out of the Masters in the first round.
Robertson won the opening frame with a break of 73 but Murphy reeled off the next five in succession thanks to contributions of 98, 53, 61 and 100, the century coming after Robertson had miscued horribly on the black.
