Robertson, Selby produce a 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” in an Instagram post.

Selby led 4-2 after an opening six frames that included three breaks of over 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. They beat Ali Carter and Martin O’Donnell, respective­ly.
