Robertson edges Selby in thriller

NEIL ROBERTSON overcame world number one Mark Selby in a thrilling quarter-final at the International Championship in Daqing.

The Australian won 6-4 in a clash he described as “one of the greatest matches I’ve been involved in”.

Selby led 4-2 after an opening six frames that included three breaks of more than 130 – 137 and 133 from the Englishman, and 135 from Robertson. But Robertson reeled off the next four to book a place in the semi-finals.

Jack Lisowski will face Robertson in the semi-final after he beat Judd Trump 6-2.

The other semi will see Mark Allen face Matthew Stevens. Allen thrashed Ali Carter 6-0 while Stevens had a 6-5 victory against Martin O’Donnell.
