8 – Williams in the pink with masterful one-handed escape10/06/2022 AT 07:55 Robertson's Masters semi-final with the evergreen Mark Williams was littered with magnificent breaks and shots, but none more so than the green ball he slotted in the death throes of a ferocious fight at an entranced Alexandra Palace in London. The technically astute Melburnian recovered from 5-3 behind against the two-time Masters champion to level at 5-5 before chasing down the two snookers he needed in the final frame to somehow emerge victorious on the black. Robertson enjoyed runs of 119, 102, 95, 83 and 52 with Williams compiling 91, 71, 67, 60, 60 and 59 in response, but a fraught contest came down to a battle of wits and will.

It was a duel that had to be seen to be believed. Williams missed a red to a centre pocket on a break of 44, only for the object ball to race down a side rail and into the yellow pocket. He progressed to 67 and looked to be on the cusp of a first Masters final since 2003, but a tough cut back on the black agonisingly stuck in the jaws of the pocket.
