Snooker star wants opponents to ‘suffer’ – and promises no more ‘happy smiley handshakes’


Snooker star Neil Robertson cautioned he should be ‘severe’ and make his rivals ‘endure’ as the previous Title holder hopes to get back to his best

The Australian has had a season to forget such a long ways with him yet to arrive at the last 16 of any positioning occasion in one of his most terrible seasons to date, and after an unremarkable mission last time, he has tumbled down the rankings.

Robertson is on course to exit the best 16 and looks prone to need to meet all requirements to arrive at the Big showdown at the Pot in April. Be that as it may, the 2010 world winner’s runs of 87, 78, 135 and 86 assisted him with beating world No.36 Jimmy Robertson in Berlin at the German Experts.

Robertson told WST about his new mindset after his 5-0 victory over Jimmy to put his poor run of form behind him, saying: It’s effectively finished. You take your eye off the ball for one minute and you can’t simply say, “gracious, I will begin winning at this point.

This season, I thought, “I’m going to practice hard and start winning again,” but things haven’t gone as planned. Out of nowhere your adversaries think, ‘perhaps he’s not playing so well’ and afterward they raise their game. I must demoralize everyone. I believe that is 10 back to back outlines I’ve won in succession now.

“I really want to return to being severe and simply covering my rivals into the ground. There are no more handshakes with a happy smile. I need the most terrible for my adversary on the table. No problem away from it; on the table, however, I want them to suffer. That is the very thing I must return to.”

At present positioned at No.7 on the planet, Robertson’s structure implies he’s projected to lose his spot in the best eight and thusly pass up the rewarding Riyadh Season World Bosses of Snooker in Saudi Arabia in Spring.
