Robertson’s title Rocket

- BY AARON FLANAGAN

NEIL ROBERTSON piled the pressure on title rival Ronnie O’Sullivan ahead of next week’s Betfred World Championsh­ip.

The Aussie ace is red-hot favourite to be crowned Crucible king – and even world No.1 O’Sullivan admits he is the “man to beat” ahead of the 17-day marathon which kicks off on Saturday.

But with the mind games already in full swing, 2010 winner Robertson insisted the Rocket has his best chance to equal Stephen Hendry’s record haul of seven world crowns this year.

“This is probably the most focused that I’ve seen him for a long time actually and that makes him dangerous,” Robertson said.
