Neil Robertson of Australia looking forward to make a difference in 2012 Masters snooker event
All top potters of snooker are heading to Alexandra Palace, London, where the likes of Mark Williams, Mark Selby, Judd Trump, John Higgins, Ronnie O’Sullivan, Ding Junhui and Neil Robertson will gather at the arena to make their presence felt in front of
thousands of fans.
Like many other potters, Australia’s Neil Robertson is also looking forward to hit his first Masters title after having a convincing run in the current season. Robertson emerged on the face of snooker after he clinched the 2010 World Snooker Championship
at the Crucible Theatre. After that, he had a struggling run in the next season.
The Aussie started the 2011-12 snooker season with unsatisfactory performances in Players Tour Championship (PTC) events. However, he grabbed victories in a couple of Premier League Snooker (PLS) events. Despite his meagre performance during the first quarter
of the season, Robertson still managed to have a convincing run and is looking to win the Masters event.
While speaking to British Broadcasting Corporation about his plans in the 2012 Masters snooker event, Robertson said, “Out of the ranking events this season, so far I'm number one in the world and I'm doing everything right. I'm looking forward to it and
it is a tournament everyone dreams of winning. Hopefully I can start a new run of major tournament victories, beginning with the Masters.”
The Thunder from Down Under added, “I've had a fantastic season and won a couple of tournaments already and came very close in major tournaments in China and the UK. This year, I'm as well prepared for the Masters as I've ever been so hopefully I can take
a lot of the form that I've shown this season into it.”
The 29-year-old will meet Northern Ireland’s Mark Allen in his first match of 2012 Masters, which is going commence from January 15 at the Alexandra Palace in London. Robertson is hoping for good competition against his opponent and feels the contest will
be thrilling. The Masters tournament was moved to a new venue after 33 years. Before Alexandra Palace, the Wembley arena was its actual home.
