Think I read somewhere this is the 4th time in 6 seasons Robertson has won the first event of the season.

Fair to say he tends to start strongly, but in recent times that has meant little for the future.

Robertson owes it to his talent to get his bottom in gear and win some major rankers. This year needs to be better

Obviously you don't know much about Pro Snooker. The main match table plays totally different to outside tables due to lighting and pace of the table so you are totally wrong

Could you please explain as I don't understand this.

The cloth is the same.
The cushions are the same.
The heaters are the same.
The balls are the same.

You reference the lighting - what physical impact does that have?
You mention the pace - why?
Thanks for explaining.

Yes ronnie79, please explain. I’m intrigued to know how it felt for you and why it was so different when you progressed from one of the outside tables to the TV one.

Ooh that’s passive aggressive isn’t it! Lolz. Bad-Dan. #metacommentary #justabitofun

A 14 time ranking event winner sh9uld have at least 2 World Titles, but often things dont work that way... Robbo wasted golden chances in 2014 and 2015 I believe.

Mind you, a player like Ding Junhui might well be the player with most ranking events won and no World Title. Which would be a shame indeed.

No that's Terry Jones, one of the Monty Python comedy troupe. No it isn't. Yes it is. This isn't an argument! Yes it is! No it isn't it's just contradiction! ... no it isn't
