NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Neil Robertson refused to make any excuses after losing in the last 32 of the UK Championship to his old friend Joe Perry in York.
The Gentleman beat the Aussie 6-2 at the Barbican, making a century and four more half-centuries in an impressive victory over the world number two.
Robertson was struggling with illness, but the Masters champion would not take anything away from Perry, saying that if you turn up to play then there can be no excuses.
‘He played very well when he was in the balls. He was deadly in the balls, played very well with any kind of chance when he was in amongst them,’ Robertson told the BBC of Perry.
