Encyclopedic overview
Neil Robertson (born 11 February 1982) is an Australian professional snooker player, who is a former world champion and former world number one. He is the only non-UK born player to have completed snooker's Triple Crown, having won the World Championship in 2010, the Masters in 2012 and 2022, and the UK Championship in 2013, 2015 and 2020. He has claimed 26 career ranking titles and won at least one professional tournament each year between 2006 and 2022.
Robertson first turned professional in the 1998–99 season but dropped off the tour. He rejoined the tour for the 2003–04 season where his results improved, later becoming the first Australian to win a ranking event when he won the 2006 Grand Prix. In 2009, he reached the semi-finals of the World Championships for the first time, and the following year he won his first world title, defeating Graeme Dott in the final. In 2012, he won his first Masters title, and in 2013, he won his first UK Championship title, becoming the eighth player to complete the triple crown. He won the UK Championship again in 2015, becoming the first player to score a maximum break in a triple crown final. He won the event for a third time in 2020, scoring a tournament record 13 centuries.
