Selby as you would have expected has had the upper hand in the safety exchanges, but Robertson has had good frame winning chances in 4 of the first 5 frames and has fluffed his lines every time. Robertson has a highest break of 35 so far. Selby has set it up for him here at the start of Frame 6, with reds spread everywhere. Robertson simply has to win this frame at one visit.
That’s a great last frame for Robertson to sneak after getting back in it initially on an outrageous fluke. Selby is not playing particularly well and hasn’t been for a long time. His early lead 5-0 lead had a lot to do with how out of sorts Robertson was. Robertson will probably be the happier player, even trailing at 3-5.
