2018 World Championship

Did you make his cue? :smile:

I did but not to order or anything I showed him about thirty cues and he turned them all down and then spotted a poor small pool cue I had hidden in the corner which he immediately took.

55" with an 8.5mm tip wasn't it Andy?

Wonderful. I love stories like this. But how could he play with a pool cue?

Neil Robertson's way down continues. In the last three years at the World Championship he lost twice in the first round and once in the third round. Me and some others always say, Robertson is a to good player not to get back to the top again. But right now I wonder how long it will take to happen. He will likely be #10 after this World Championship, his worst spot to end a season since 2008. If he falls down to #11 it will be his worst ranking since 2006.

Brilliant!

And what a wonderfully pleasant demeanour he has about him. Very endearing post-patch chat with Rob Walker there.

Yeah. Not exactly capitalising, is he?

Not yet. Hopefully he can take the last frame before the MSI.

Unfortunately Robbo still looks like the player he was yesterday...

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Milkins loses the match from here.

I think few would.

He looks like a complete different player today. I haven't seen each match but this seems to be the worst match of this year's championship so far.

I think the realisation of what he achieved yesterday is beginning to dawn on him.

The Milkman officially gone into his usual self-destruct mode.
