Jimmy White went through to the second round of the Masters with a 6-2 win over Neil Robertson this afternoon.
A break of 76 gave White the first frame and a 60 break looked to have set him up for 2-0 but Robertson built on a fluked red into the top pocket to pull level. The pair were still level at the break but White soon took charge, making breaks of 78 and 83 along the way.
White said: "I'm pleased to have got that out of the way, I was under a lot of pressure. I'm bordering on playing well but made some silly mistakes and I'll need to be on top of my game against Stephen."
Robertson said: "It's been a great experience and it doesn't get much harder than playing Jimmy here. I think I tried a bit too hard. I went for a few long balls I wouldn't usually try and he punished me."
