Neil Robertson 147 Break vs Ronnie
Nov 14, 2023
Snooker
6.
he's under hit that and he's left the
red to the corner well after all that
deliberation me Robertson that's a poor
shot
looking to get on those Reds just above
the black
this one goes to the green pocket
Willie Robertson very reliable with a
shot like this
one didn't let you down Phil
well that was a poor safety because I
mean Liang took about a minute and a
half thinking about where he's going to
put the white and it was had to be
anywhere but there
depends how many Neil gets off this
eight
hmm
nine
16.
17.
foreign
24.
25.
well a little bit premature to be
thinking about a maximum but
this guy is such a prolific brake
Builder
you might be beginning to think about it
in a few minutes time 32 first job is to
get two frames in front again
slow down a bit last year I didn't only
made 60 centuries
yeah shabby after 103 the previous
season
33 102 sorry
or was it 103 yeah you're right it's
only one 603
phenomenal achievement really when you
consider
previous highest I think was in the high
60s from Judd Trump
absolutely smashed the record out of
sight 40.
achieved it at the world championship I
think he was playing Judd Trump when he
did so
when he already has the top break of
course of 145 which will net him a
further four thousand pounds
41.
can he add the 40 000 on top that's the
question the priority of course is to
win the frame and get that two cushion
two frame cushion again but
I'm sure at this stage he's thinking
about it
and the thing is as well all the reds
are in the middle of the table there's
nothing you know no Reds near cushions
or anything like that
and they're still open red tier to be
potted
this is becoming a very good chance not
only to win the frame but to make the
maximum
49
.
56.
57. I'm sure that if you're looking for
some sort of Cannon here
unless those two Reds were planted which
is checking out
hmm well it's not bad if you get just
slightly low on them to come back for
the black
this is played on the plan that looks
perfect so you can stun over for the
black
well we're halfway there Phil 64.
come close on a couple of occasions of
course tap Giant and new missed the
final black
but Mark Selby had a very good chance as
well I missed the 13th black off its
spot
earlier in the tournament
he's got a couple of Reds open as well
three more Reds here to be parted I'll
tell you what these are set nice
they really are they said there's
nothing difficult here they're all in
the middle of the table they saw this is
all about cue ball control
well we found everything this week in
this UK championship
oh
that's not clever
70 finishes
final frame dramas that was frame ball
so at least the frame is one
can he keep dreams of the maximum alive
well he can because I think he can drop
this red in but he'll stay high on the
black
what's funny isn't it the pressure is
off
but the pressure comes back up to make
the maximum he's done well there he can
just float this in for the right hand
red there's a couple of Reds that go
if he moves those out the way the Reds
will go to the other corner
this is the first real pressure shot of
this break
yeah well played fairly beautifully look
at that
couldn't have hit that any better
well the crowd know what's going on here
yeah 80.
more Dimensions is at the top of this
entries list with 145
well to make a maximum
in the UK final would be something
special
just checking all the Reds it was that
rather lousy safety for Liang that let
Robertson in for this chance
81.
I think he's gonna have to play on the
red to the middle here
wow he used the full width of the pocket
on that one yeah he had to just force a
wider angle to get the good angle on the
red now I'm not sure whether the right
unread of the three goes into this
corner pocket you might have to
give those three Reds a bit of a tension
from this black
so far so good
drop out there
now has he gone straight here
so I think he's got the angle to get
into them
and if it does well please be a nice
split
it's all about this shot really
I'm not ideal yeah there's a few reasons
but he's still got a shot on here
96. I think this is okay
it's close to the red he's got to hit it
clean but he can get back for the black
good queuing required yeah come on get
in
get in get in
well
the maximum is most definitely on now
[Applause]
every member of this crowd is willing
him to do it
there's the century
second of the match
[Applause]
104. just nudge the pink there I think
he's got the angle to get back for the
black
one two before but this would be
something else
they're all there
test of nerve now as much as skill for
Robertson his art
we'll be beating a little bit faster
I'm sure that he's made plenty of these
in the club
but this is a whole new ball game
yes I mean how well has he played these
having the split on the red he got close
to that red but he was able to just
nudge it into the middle and get back
we were thinking it's on
it's still on
oh in the few just a few more pots for
an added firmness of 40 000 pounds 120.
catch this one clean
122 is a kick though is okay you missed
that yellow early on in one of the
earlier frames
he hasn't looked like missing in this
break though
guys just a break 120 building machine
isn't he
four more parts away from 44 000 pounds
deep breaths
when tap trying new missed out final
fighting the other day
we were thinking are we going to see one
perhaps not there's a chance here now
you might just come back let him
concentrate thank you 18 inches or so
for the pink into the corners just
landed too straight on this blue but
just come back leave himself dead
straight on the pink
this crowd here at the bar we can
willing him
to knock these three colors in there was
just a little bit of tension in the arm
there wasn't there from brown to Blue to
make this a little bit trickier than it
might have been
134 I'm gonna have to play this with the
rest
being left-handed
well two balls away from 44 000 pounds
here
Liang will be rooting for him to the
frame long since gone and it's a good
angle just to drop this in and come off
the side cushion
yes well done we wasn't sure whether we
were going to see one this week this has
been fabulous
one ball away
stand by it for the Barbican roof to be
raised
go on knock it in
brilliant quite quite brilliant from
Neil Robertson the crowd on their feet
Robertson ecstatic and no wonder
