The one opponent Neil Robertson could never beat.

Looks like 5:2. Can't see Robertson coming back from this.
Selby has been playing at a very high level since the MSI.

all credit to Robertson for winning this frame. Showing a good fighting spirit. But still has to win the next one. Selby looks too strong to lose from 5:3 up.

Robertson hits back with three in a row of his own.
Wish I could be watching this match.

That poor mistake from Robertson could cost him this match.

It will. Most of the times it goes this way.
Better go in a decider when the opponent makes a big break to force it instead by having an own chance to kill off the match but mugs it up. Whole mentality changes in the deciding frame. In the first case Neil would have a clear mind in the decider, in the 2nd he will cry after the wasted chance and wont be fully focused.

That match virtually proved what I and many others have been saying quite a few times.
Neil Robertson at his best or lets say his peak level is higher than Mark Selbys. From 2:4 behind Robertson played at a completely different level and outclassed Selby in every single department. Safety,potting,breakbuilding. You could see by Selbys face (when he was sitting in that seat) that he couldn't believe what was going on.
A pity though that Robertson did make that poor mistake in that final frame and didn't win in style.
But I tell you. The reason Selby didn't take advantage was because of the massive pressure he's had and the way Robertson was playing all way through.

Didn't he say he wasn't coming back until The Crucible?
