Robertson hammers Davis
12 April 2012
Australian Neil Robertson completed quickfire a 10-2 victory over veteran Steve Davis in round one of the Betfred.com World Championship.
Robertson, 27, had been troubled recently by a shoulder injury but his game looked in good shape as he thrashed Davis.
Six-time world champion Davis is now 51 and this was his 29th visit to the Crucible.
He survived the qualifying round, coming back from the brink to defeat Lee Spick, but was outplayed by Robertson.
Last year's runner-up Ali Carter awaits Robertson in the last 16.
The Cambridgeshire-based world number 10 fired in a break of 125 in the second frame of Wednesday's short session, as he swiftly converted a 7-2 overnight lead into a resounding victory.
