Neil Robertson cruises past Wu Yize into last eight of UK Championship

Neil Robertson cruised to a 6-1 win over Wu Yize and moved into the quarter-finals of the UK Championship in York.

China’s Wu had knocked in a break of 62 as he took the opening frame but it was largely one-way traffic after that as the Australian took control.

Robertson, 43, who has been crowned UK champion three times previously, compiled breaks of 51, 65, 75 and 68 as he reeled off the next five frames.

Wu, who won the International Championship last month, had no reply and Robertson, came from 48 points behind to take the seventh frame.

Robertson will now face either Mark Williams or Pang Junxu in the last eight.
