not the best quality and angles but still worth watching.

thanks a lot!

Eurosport.ru commentary said exactly the same thing - that making 147 changes players' condition so much that they at least immediately after it tend to lose a frame or more. He also said good that it happened so early in the match, Robberston will still have time to come back. Well he didn't.

I don't think it's enough time. To re-focus he'd need to leave the table for a couple of hours and then come back to play again.
p.s. I don't like Sinitzin as a commentary, though, I often read his articles on Eurosport.ru.

Lovely shot on the last red

Only Frame Neil Won? And to Lose to Peter Ebdon 5-1 thats Unreal.

He was probably thinking that no one would remember him losing to Ebdon.
But a 147. That's a different story!

I'm not really a great fan of Robbo for some reason. He's got something, however, the 147 proves it, and I'm going to have a bet on him for The World. Joe Johnson proves that a potter can win the top prize from time to time. Maybe this will be Robbo's year.
The guy has definitley got something and deserves all the plaudits.

The final red was a real trademark Neil Robertson. Well done

Awesome last red!

I like how he played the red to get to 49. I tend to play those too soft and rarely get position.

No wonder he didn't win another frame, don't worry about the excitement of making a 147, I timed Ebdon's handshake, it was 8 seconds long. I don't think Robertson could bridge properly after that.

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I love Ebdon's handshakes. When there is a good match, win or lose, he often "imprisons" his opponents for a number of seconds to tell them what he thinks of the game. I suppose you could call it good sportsmanship.

[gettingbetter]

True, he sort of stifled Carter's 147 celebration too.

ebdon, although his play his "controversial" to some eyes, it cannot be denied he is a fantastic sportsman and i respect his off the table attitude very much.
