Neil Robertson pulls off stunning comeback to beat John Higgins at the Masters

Neil Robertson made the most of his late call up to the Masters with a stunning fightback from 5-1 down to beat John Higgins 6-5.

Robertson, who won the prestigious top-16 event in 2012 and 2022, was gifted the chance to face Higgins in the opening match after reigning champion Ronnie O’Sullivan’s withdrawal.

It looked like being a brief visit to Alexandra Palace for Robertson as Higgins reeled off five frames in succession, but the Australian stormed back to take the next five and snatch an unlikely victory.

ONE FOR THE AGES!
