Robertson won the world title in 2010, beating Graeme Dott 18-13 in the final, and although he’s been consistently one of the best players in the game since then, he hasn’t come close to repeating the feat.
The Down Under Thunder haven’t returned to the Crucible final since 2010 and only made it to a semi-final, losing four times in the first round in Sheffield since becoming world champions
